How to Thrive

Truth is I don't know how to thrive

I've spent my whole life just trying to survive

I can't remember my last genuine smile

That wan't simply to beguile

 

How does one get out of bed

When all your motivation is dead?

What fresh hell is all this inaction

What I wouldn't do for a distraction.

 

Who knew a never ending to-do list

Would be so sorely missed?

When there's no one to appease

How does one live life at ease?
