Disruption
The TV is an enemy I’m keeping close
I haven’t used my brain in weeks
For anything considered useful
I’m a cat bed, a pin cushion, a panacea of toxic trials that sour everything I taste
Fight, rest, recover, repeat
Giving in to weakness is not my strength
I’m a tough cookie
That’s my mantra
And you would have no idea if it’s a lie
Boredom is the symptom
of all this hoopla
(Not the disease)
While I wait for just normal
To become my new amazing
