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
