I sit and stare... As time crawls by Anxiously awaiting nightfall. Nowhere to go, Nothing to do But yawn and stretch- All day long. Nothing interests me today Sleep becomes tiring Food becomes tasteless Nothing catches my fancy Not the TV Not the radio. I take a walk outside Not a chance! The fierce sun drives me back. I call my friends But all are busy It's a conspiracy! I sigh, Desperate for the day to end Maybe a book will speed it up I browse through my shelf Picking one at random I sleep off, Before I make it through page one Hopefully, I'll sleep away time I awake to the barking dogs Convinced I've slept for hours I feel worse than before Cos I only slept 5 minutes. **** dogs! I listen to a song- Cindy Lauper's Time After Time I feel like crying Where is everybody? I give up! Nothing works for me today It's a sad, long and lonely day The street is quiet- Except for the barking I feel tired Tired from sleeping Tired from everything Nothing to do but think. Finally, I pick up my pen I grab a paper I write a line And for the first time today- I smile! © Raphael Uzor

Boredom
I sit and stare... As time crawls by Anxiously awaiting nightfall. Nowhere to go, Nothing to do But yawn and stretch- All day long. Nothing interests me today Sleep becomes tiring Food becomes tasteless Nothing catches my fancy Not the TV Not the radio. I take a walk outside Not a chance! The fierce sun drives me back. I call my friends But all are busy It's a conspiracy! I sigh, Desperate for the day to end Maybe a book will speed it up I browse through my shelf Picking one at random I sleep off, Before I make it through page one Hopefully, I'll sleep away time I awake to the barking dogs Convinced I've slept for hours I feel worse than before Cos I only slept 5 minutes. **** dogs! I listen to a song- Cindy Lauper's Time After Time I feel like crying Where is everybody? I give up! Nothing works for me today It's a sad, long and lonely day The street is quiet- Except for the barking I feel tired Tired from sleeping Tired from everything Nothing to do but think. Finally, I pick up my pen I grab a paper I write a line And for the first time today- I smile! © Raphael Uzor
