I sit here, exhausted from a night of doing nothing But for me, stillness is the hardest endeavor The exertion of mental strength so uncontrollable The tire overflows mind and is expelled through body My body is weary from thought I distract myself with mediocre activities In hopes of dulling down my thought process Which is more a rebellion in fact As the thoughts rebel chaotically With no apparent process to their stream As I try to tell myself to focus The commands mix into the storm already there A whirl of letters pass my eyes in a haze As if a speed game of scrabble completely injust I attempt to forfeit but in vain So stupidity comes to my rescue With idle games and ample liquor To lull mind into a dazed state Vocabulary escapes and knowledge takes rest Tonight I am a desperate fool

Tonight
I sit here, exhausted from a night of doing nothing But for me, stillness is the hardest endeavor The exertion of mental strength so uncontrollable The tire overflows mind and is expelled through body My body is weary from thought I distract myself with mediocre activities In hopes of dulling down my thought process Which is more a rebellion in fact As the thoughts rebel chaotically With no apparent process to their stream As I try to tell myself to focus The commands mix into the storm already there A whirl of letters pass my eyes in a haze As if a speed game of scrabble completely injust I attempt to forfeit but in vain So stupidity comes to my rescue With idle games and ample liquor To lull mind into a dazed state Vocabulary escapes and knowledge takes rest Tonight I am a desperate fool
