Analysis of I Enjoy Doing Nothing
I just sit around
Staring at the wall
Nothing stares back
It's sort of comforting in a way
It makes me feel nothing
See nothing
Think nothing
It's a blessing
Being able to say, "I'm doing nothing"
It's liberating
To not have to see new faces
To know that I know what I know
It helps me to begin again
To know that there is so much more
So much more than this empty wall
This empty void
This empty space
How many more ways can I say it?
I enjoy doing nothing
