Premium Member 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
