I can never find anything to do anymore I am ALWAYS bored I drink another soda as fast as I can Boring I smoke another cigarette as fast as I can Boring and bad for my health I used to drink and do drugs It caused a lot of problems but I had fun At least then I had something to do At least then I could make myself stupid Do stupid things with an excuse At least then I could be interested in menial things The most interesting thing I did today was take a shower I was actually kind of happy standing there under the water But only an idiot would stand in the shower all day I could take up ************ That might be fun I could do that in the shower I rarely smile anymore without faking it I smile when I see a small child smile But I don't have children around me that often and when I do, they are not always smiling Often they are screaming Screaming children are not fun Some people seem like they are happy all the time How do they do it? Is it because they are stupid? I like to think so I like to think that I am the norm Nobody should be happy too often I just want to be happy a little bit Find a few things to do that don't bore me to death I wanna be interested in life I want to have a reason to go to bed early I want to have a reason to wake up I want to have a reason Today I will just have to settle for being bored For being uninterested For being unhappy But it would be nice not to have to dumb down to cheer up I am sick of dumbing down I am kind of sick of life Maybe tomorrow I will remember a good reason to live Maybe tomorrow I will find something new Maybe tomorrow somebody will suprise me Maybe not But I do still have hope That just maybe things will change
