Meditation

I stay the same way 
I remain young but bored, tired but curious.
I pray I change one day

"Just got to pick up your feet."
"Just make sure you're eating three times a day."
"Call your friends."
"Study more."
"Don't stay up so late."

I get journals for gifts
But I hate lined paper
Might have heard of a song
That would remind me to fight
I keep making excuses
I find it hard to write

It's stupid, it's a cycle
It's my fault, I'm my rival

I wish it was better 
But all these people don't know me
You'd think I'd keep going
Well I'd rather stop thinking

Thank you to the one friend that prefers calling over texting.
