Saturday Night

This is my lonely Saturday night... choosing no fun.

It’s Saturday night 7:26 pm…

I am sitting on my couch all alone.

I’m thinking, deciding on the night.

Do I go out, have fun and live it up?

Or should I sit here and watch Netflix?

Watch, all alone with nothing but a beer….

It sounds depressing but I have no one to share with.

I want to cuddle but I have no partner.

I want to kiss but there’s no woman with me.

I want to feel alive but life is stuck on pause.

What to do, should I sit and wait?

It’s Saturday night, and I am telling a story….

A story of how each night goes, the story of my life.

I guess I’ll choose self-destruction tonight.

Pop open this beer, wrap up this blunt….

Medicate all pains away, clear my mind,

Stare at the t.v. with only a beautiful woman in mind.

I’ll share this moment with no one but myself…

It’s Saturday night, how do the rest of you feel?

The Netflix, the couch, the blunt--the revolving safety blanket prison for the anxious. Wonderful perspective. Fresh in the form, yet so, so familiar. Great write, man, I particularly like the line which includes 'life is stuck on pause', it compliments the scene perfectly.

[AaronFreitas]

[Deepika]

Well aaron, i appreciate your choice of the topic as friday and saturday nights are best parts of a week :) somewhat i could relate..when i'm in mood of enjoyment situations don't support and vice versa.

[AaronFreitas]

Thanks for the review Deepika :) I guess sometimes we are in the mood for fun, mood for cuddling and watching t.v. and what ever else weekend nights bring :) Thanks my friend

[Leena Madhuri]

[AaronFreitas]

Nice to know I'm not the only one :) Thank you

[Ilerah]

Nice poem again mate, really well written. All around, just a good poem.

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Ilerah... I appreciate your kind words my friend :)

Sounds like my kind of night, blunt and a beer, that's safe!
But there's no wrong in wanting more my brother.
Great right about summing up and evening and the thoughts that lurk...

[AaronFreitas]

Thanks my friend... sometimes all we have is our own thoughts to drown in :)

[sinNsincerity]

yea and a blunt always makes it better for me.

[AaronFreitas]

Oh yeah! Last night was that night haha

I appreciate your willingness to share Aaron, it takes courage. I have lived through struggles in the past and I struggle at times with life in the present as well, seems like there is always something... I am personally trying to come to terms with my responsibility in these struggles all the time and own it for myself. I believe we all create our obstacles in order to become who we are fully. Spirituality plays an important part in the process and I believe there are many paths spiritually, but for me its never something that I give up to, or on, and I try hard not to shift blame or responsibility to others whether the "other" is my higher power or people. I am accountable... I just thought I would share my own personal thoughts with you, as you ended your write with the question how do the rest of us feel... take care, Todd

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you my friend for sharing your struggles. I am working on being the best I can be in every aspect of life... making a lot of changes so at times it's just different I guess.

[Emily]

Nice wording!
Well done!!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you Emily... it was more of an emotional, personal... just write kind of piece. Thanks :)

This made me sad.. :(
I'm sorry you're alone Aaron. Don't give up. You'll find her.. Trust me, it comes from the least expected place, at the least expected time..

This piece was amazing though. I loved the detail. I could feel your loneliness, your pain..

[AaronFreitas]

Very true.... thanks Nikki :) You always bring a smile to my face my friend :)

[♥ Ari Skye ♥]

Aw. Glad I could make a friend smile!
