Thought that today would be a step in a proper direction
One foot in front of the other and the usual stuff
Stuck behind concrete and memory foam laziness
Minimal desire to be an overachiever of any kind
Temperature outside prevented that from being possible
Unable to evolve when world was lost behind masks
Afraid to get near others due to the justifiable health risks
Fingers crossed that a solution will come soon
Need new social material and content to have in conversations
Hard to deal with newer reality when lost in your own thoughts
Not allowed to bounce any ideas or express concerns to anyone
Outside the confines of telephones, internet and family
Loved having a sense of structure during the weekday grind
Even when it got to a different kind of drag to contend with
Dealt with another frustrating Monday for the record books
Chock full of tedium and irritating individuals knocking
On the metaphorical front door trying to get a rise out of me
Laughed quietly at how easily it was allowed for them to do so
Considered that these gnats weren't the problem at all
It was the narrator at large who couldn't block out the noise
Found no sound canceling headphones to protect them
Wondered what it was like to be considered an adult
A fully functioning and totally independent organism
Operating heavy machinery without the aid of guiding hands
Prepared to close both eyes not to sleep; too early for that
Blocking out everything and everyone causing stress
Taking away the sadness and past memories for a moment
Picturing utter quiet and stillness to clear the mind
Erasing the mental and physical cobwebs from the canvas
Creating the ultimate clean slate in front of you
Allowing for some much needed clarity
Simplifying any problem and boiling down the solution
Into bullet points to get to the ideal solution
Counting down from any number to reach relaxation
Finding temporary peace in order to evolve into a better person
A step that will need to be likely repeated numerous times
To get it done the right way; nothing good ever came easily.
