Boredom

Boredom hits me
Fatigue won’t quit me
I’m stuck at work
I’m going berserk 

My boss ain’t here
The coast is clear
But I gotta sit tight
I think of rhymes to write

My mind takes flight
As I sit by the light
Processing information
Looking for inspiration

Should I write about clouds?
Or getting lost in the crowd
Or growing up in the slums
Now I’m twiddling my thumbs

I wait for time to pass
I write some more pizzazz
But I’m still really bored
I’m about to hit the floor

A question I wanna forget
Is it 5 o clock yet?
I sigh in one breath
Boredom feels like death

The humor and honesty in your poem are fantastic. You perfectly capture the feeling of being bored out of your mind at work.
