bed rot

I don't even want to move, I don't ever want to move.

bed rot

rot

rot

I'll stay here

and lay here

until it's the end

of my days, here

because the outside

world

is scary

and I'm feeling

very very

unsure of my 

surroundings

so I'll lay here

where the pillow

is soft

and the sheets

are warm

and everything is

arms length

bed rot

rot 

rot

I can't remember

the last time

I got up

but I need to

refill my

water cup

I guess one

day I'll go

walk that mile

but for now, I 

think I'll lay here

for a while.

this rhythm is fire, it reads almost like a rap. it is a lament, and all the emotions are viscerally expressed, but wrapped in a drowsy, sing-songy voice. this phenomenon psychologists call avoidance -- which isn't completely unhealthy -- is one that many nowadays are turning to, trying to cope with a stressful world and the place that feels safest is alone in bed. in other words, you are the voice of this generation.

The outside world is indeed scary

I had to look up what the definition of bed rot was and you completely summed it up but on more of the negative side of rotting in your bed for ages.

The line " I can't remember the last time I got up" and "I think I'll lay here for a while" are beautiful, and I find when you repeat you always repeat three times, and it works for you every time, I've missed you, I won't lie, since I know your internet has been out, but you always come back with something better, great work, princess.
