Slow Days



Soft music in the background, I sit and daydream.
Things to do, a list that stagnates in front of my eyes,
My mind trying to grab my attention, vainly screams,
While battling with itself, as it stares at the blue skies.

People scurry about their lives, sweating for happiness,
The TV blares, desperate to distract and entertain,
Yet I sit there, blissful in my dreamy laziness,
I stay in my fantasies, preferring to remain sane.

Entertainment! Devices blasting mindless talks!
Life! Lab rats scrambling through an endless maze!
People! Everyone trying to pull up their socks!
Me? Oh, I just love these slow days!
