Best Lethargic Poems

gloom drags me into the blueness of
boredom since you've been gone
and i don't see how i'll ever snap out of it

Lethargy holds life broken, dream notions molded
and harshly sits heavy, deeply within my chest.
Glum stillness chokes fresh, moving air until listless
inside pale walls too groggy-bleak to bear witness.
Hung languor peaks indifference with vehemence
while the outside world circles null with endlessness.

Hectic Than Lethargic 

Hillary said that writing her
new book was cathartic like
me writing my poems.

After things had really become hectic,
Learned I looked like I was lethargic;
Been inevitable;
Forgot vegetable;
Writing my poems can be cathartic.

"Lethargic Gallery"
by David Lustrup 2017

Amid this desolation
My blood has stopped, there is no pressure
The last sweet drop of light, is gone with you
Extinguished angels look at me, telling me goodbye
I fall from heaven’s grace
Into an endless night

Fantastic threads of light and shade
From stars that kiss...

i am listening to this song
there will never be another you
tears roll down my face slowly
i remember the look on her face
i recall the eerie quiet
i will never forget wishing that she could have died peacefully and painlessly

Lethargic pages
Waiting a long time to move
If they move at all
How frustrating it can be!
When I want to see
Another page on this site
And it does not move
See “Gateway timeout error”
After waiting long.
Some material is lost
Irretrievable
When the pages do not move
Annoying this is!
What is being done...

you got amnesia
wandering who are you who
wonder minds you are

mind fail lethargic
memories faded away
who am I and you

Lethargic 
No memory 
One of those days 
No motivation 
Just laziness 
Slumber in the day 
Pull down the shade 
Descend beneath 
Into a deep sleep 
Have you ever been Lethargic? 
Submerged in silence 
Falling away 
Into the void 
Turn off the noise 
Darkness covers the...

I sit and I sit and I sit again,
Wondering why my neck hurts
And my body is losing her elasticity.
Eating brownies for fuel, knowing I am killing myself
Softly, and in a luxuriously relaxing way.

The brownies are gone, but I am not satisfied,
So I reach for the...

Trash talk myself in the mirror,
My fat roll is getting bigger.

Quick to judge others,
For my own druthers.

Can’t stand to see,
What is reflected back at me.

I see my double chin,
And wonder when did it begin?

It didn’t happen overnight,
This frightening sight.

My stomach grumbles,
I begin my struggles.

It calls...
