Emotions


from the ABC set Poems

Bored like a lonely plank floating on the oceans rhythm
Still like an old car burnt out and left to rot unsightly
Calm like the moment just after an argument when there's nothing left to say
Empty, like the feeling I have lately whilst sat behind my desk bored.

Tired like an old drill, with the power draining and whirring to a stand still
Sleepy like a nodding dog with the added pain of bumping my head as it tips
Distracted like a naughty dog tempted with a bone
Lifeless and unproductive whilst sat behind my desk feeling tired
