Bored

Bored,

The hateful word

Most often heard

Curses the memories

Of happy times.

Bored,

I scream my hopes away,

As agony embraces me,

Time suddenly escapes me

And happiness I call in vain.

Bored,

A silent anger poorly

Fights this eternal passivity,

Tedium rules unstoppably

While life shows all its negativity.

Bored,

I trap this emptiness

On this unlucky paper,

Hoping this sickness

To see again never

... Bored?

Author's Note

I missed writing in English ! After the last poems written in Portuguese and Italian, I wanted to write something in English !
Do you feel some negative feeling? Write about it ! Believe me, it helps ! I curiously found out after writing this poem, I was no longer bored.

Your boredom has served you well, this goes to show a poet can write about anything if they put their minds to it...a lovely read.

[Tate Morgan]

I am bored to death. may I live to see the day I dont know this feeling in a single day .Its hard to entertain myself as my mind wont shut up long enough to entertain the idea

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Cathartic within your description and striving for a telling prose, well done, good read.

[Leslie Philibert]

Like this too ; boredom can be creative ; we all need time simply to think ( meditate ?) or let ourselves be at peace; you have used this time to good effect.

[Vidya Bacchus]
