Boredom

If there’s something that will drive me crazy
And if there’s something that makes me insane
It’s just boredom that will put me in shame

Boredom only offers wilted flowers
I’ll just crave,  making me a hungry girl
Showing me the dark sky for star to search

Like holding all plain black and white photos
A vegetating state making me blues
I would rather shave and paint my eyebrows

All alone or with friends doing nothing
Or an ending repetitions, refrain
I’ll squirm out from grip of this banal state

But boredom is wild, now hiding from me
So scared of my repellents -my hobbies
Creativity will drive it away

Sorry, no time or muse to write a new one yet, since I'm still occupied with unfinished school assignments. Just came to read you and other's here while taking a short break. Have a great day. Hugs

Charles Messina Date: 3/10/2023 9:59:00 AM I love this, Len. Well-written. Though one line in particular stands out for me. "I would rather shave and paint my eyebrows" When I was 15 yrs old I was drunk and shaved my eyebrows for $20.00 (lol) Hugs Charlie Login to Reply Len Gasun Date: 3/10/2023 11:53:00 PM Ha ha ha ha, I hope you didn't have any regret shaving your eyebrows my dear friend Charles.
