I Am Bored With People

I am often bored by people
they are always in a hurry to be somewhere
rush, rush, rush
Shouldn't they stop for a bit?

People often talk too much
for my liking
Too many words
not enough listening

Sometimes the only quiet spot
I can find
is my room
with the solace of my cat

Away from the annoying bustle of the world
my own little alcove of peace.
The thing is, I am a person

And perhaps...
perhaps I should be bored with myself too.
