Paradox of Boredom

Boredom
Define the state of mind
When your brain cells are dead
When all you have is lame
Ideas that come and go
Never to be done
Nor to be tried in
Boredom
Know the limits of your art
When bounded by your pen
When all of words and song
You hear are neither fun
Nor ever dull
To burst through
Boredom
Illogical term to say
When interest fades away
When choices overwhelm
 Inactivity we might wish
To never loose
Nor ever choose
Boredom

  1. I liked the composition here with "boredom" as a refrain throughout. This piece can speak to all levels but it definitely speaks to artists in block, desperately wanting it all to just work out. Much enjoyed ~ Rose
