Boredom

(i hate this bit)

By BrenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

it’s the nothing inside

the nothings that slide

it’s a trap it’s the snap

it’s the motionless glide

it’s a void in a vacuum

a place of no trace

null, less than zero

a step out of space

it’s the hum in the drum

it’s the hic in a cup

a swerve in a curve

its all shut and no up

it’s the noise in the silence

it’s a cancelled today

it’s the numb it’s the mindless

it’s a frittering away

it’s a clock moving backwards

toc tic toc tic

its behind the rewind

its viscous and slick

it’s a paralysis of self

its apathetic inactions

the very substance of nothing

its lack of reactions

For Fun

    Nicely done! I agree with Andrew. The flow was superb! The first time I heard 'Bored', I put it on repeat for another 3 or 4 or 5 times. That song ROCKS!!!
