Saturday Night

Saturday Night

A Poem by AaronFreitas
"

This is my lonely Saturday night... choosing no fun.

"

It’s Saturday night 7:26 pm…

I am sitting on my couch all alone.

I’m thinking, deciding on the night.

Do I go out, have fun and live it up?

Or should I sit here and watch Netflix?

Watch, all alone with nothing but a beer….

It sounds depressing but I have no one to share with.

I want to cuddle but I have no partner.

I want to kiss but there’s no woman with me.

I want to feel alive but life is stuck on pause.

What to do, should I sit and wait?

It’s Saturday night, and I am telling a story….

A story of how each night goes, the story of my life.

I guess I’ll choose self-destruction tonight.

Pop open this beer, wrap up this blunt….

Medicate all pains away, clear my mind,

Stare at the t.v. with only a beautiful woman in mind.

I’ll share this moment with no one but myself…

It’s Saturday night, how do the rest of you feel?

The Netflix, the couch, the blunt--the revolving safety blanket prison for the anxious. Wonderful perspective. Fresh in the form, yet so, so familiar. Great write, man, I particularly like the line which includes 'life is stuck on pause', it compliments the scene perfectly.

Always go out and live it out, Never know who is out there waiting to find you, so your Saturday nights will be spent the same way but with some sharing this with you..GOD KNOWS I love Netflix and the couch haha but one could be searching and miss you because your not out there..

yeah no rush... no settling :)
I am sorry you feel that way. I totally understand, you wishing to spend quality time with a woman who you would love, but you don't have her yet in your life. But yes, sitting at home and not really making it happen for yourself won't lead you to your jackpot. Call up some friends, go out somewhere fun! Or join a club of a specific interest and you'll meet lots of interesting people and who knows maybe your love is there or you will meet her through the people. I have tried the internet before as well to find dates. Not for everyone of course.

Haha, but honestly I don't mind staying at home watching tv or playing games or reading! I am such an anti-social house cat.

Aaron, this is a good write, but James is right... we have to get off our rumps and get out there if we want something to happen. Last time I checked the girls don't make house-calls in search of a partner, and it's getting tougher. If I were you I would drop the beer and blunt, wash up, change, and head out to see what life is happening beyond the couch. You can do it, my friend... you just have to go!

I'm always home on Saturday night, and every other night! ha Yes, it gets boring... lonely. Writing is best to help make the time worth it.

Yeah I hear ya! I will keep my head up my friend :)
I feel your confidence is not up to par.Give your life to God and be completely honest with yourself Aaron.My philosophy has changed once I really found God.My old lustful ways were the first to go,next was my language I use to curse like a sailor.The final weight that set me free was while I was living with a woman that had no feelings for me I was given fringe benefits once in a blue moon just to hold me to help with finance.The weight was lifted when I said no to her last offer of sex.I stopped living in sin then two months later my nephew that is half Filipino introduced me to his mothers cousins sister-in law after courting online for 10 months I flew over there and married her and I assure you at 58 years old I never knew what love was until I met her she showed her love through actions and I'm not referring to sex

Hit the nuke button here my friend. How true this is when I was searching in my quest for a woman to see my light over many single years. It was always about Saturday night, Do I or Don't I???
