The Serenity of Stillness: A Reflection on the Beauty of Laziness

With each passing day, my bond with laziness grew stronger,
And I found solace in the solitude of my room.
I let the world outside drift by, as I pondered longer,
On the meaning of life, love, and the impending doom.

Yet sometimes a voice in my head would whisper and jeer,
Telling me that my friend laziness was a foe in disguise,
That I was wasting away, and letting life disappear,
That I needed to break free from this comfortable guise.

But I ignored the voice, for it did not understand,
The beauty of doing nothing, the serenity of stillness.
For in my laziness, I found peace in a chaotic land,
And I relished in the freedom that it would always bless.

So let the world judge me, and call me a sloth,
For I know the truth, that my friend is loyal and true.
In my laziness, I found a refuge from life's wroth,
And I'll always be grateful for the respite it imbues.

The world outside may seem so grand,
But within my laziness, I take a stand.
I won't be swayed by society's demands,
For my friend laziness is where I make my plans.

I'll sip on wine and read a book,
As the world outside rushes on.
I'll never be a part of that crooked look,
For my friend laziness, I've already won.

I know I'll face judgment from some,
For owning my choice to live life in my way.
But my friend laziness is my only chum,
And with him, I'm content to stay.

So let the world outside keep spinning,
And the people rush to and fro.
For in my laziness, I find winning,
And a life that's truly my own.

I'll stay here in my cozy nest,
With my friend laziness by my side.
And when it's time for my final rest,
I'll go out with a satisfied sigh.

For I've lived my life on my own terms,
With my friend laziness as my guide.
And as the world outside still churns,
I'll be forever by his side.

In the comfort of my lair I'll stay,
Where the wine and solitude never stray.
The world may spin on, but I'll be fine,
With my friend Laziness, forever mine.

I'll watch the sun rise and set,
From the confines of my own vignette.
For the outside world holds no appeal,
When Laziness and I make the deal.

I'll pen some lines and read a verse,
As world is waving in its own way and day..
In the chaos and the grind,
But my friend Laziness, he's one of a kind.

Some say that life is meant to be lived,
With all its highs and lows, to the brink of the abyss.
But I find solace in my own pace,
And with Laziness, I keep up the chase.

I'll never be a part of the race,
For my friend Laziness keeps me in place.
And though the world may never understand,
I'll continue on, hand in hand.

So let the others keep up the fight,
For in my Laziness, I see the light.
A life of ease, where I'm the master,
And Laziness, my eternal disaster.
