It's a lazy boring sunday afternoon

Nothing on television but reruns of old cartoons

Refresh my inbox across sites again and again

Mindlessly checking for notifications

I’m so, so, extremely bored

Finding tidbits of information for my useless trivia hoard

Why can’t anything in life excite me anymore

I might be materially well off but spiritually I’m poor

I could get off youtube and do something productive

I could learn a new skill online or actually be constructive

But I’m not doing those things, I’m a procrastination master

I just scroll through my feed, ever searching faster

I’m so, so, extremely bored

Finding tidbits of information for my useless trivia hoard

Why can’t anything in life excite me anymore

I might be materially well off but spiritually I’m poor

Is there anything interesting? It stimulates my brain

Then the dopamine is gone and I’m back to numbed down pain

An article five paragraphs and then I’m moving on

Maybe in the next refresh I’ll find a decent song

I’m so, so, extremely bored

Finding tidbits of information for my useless trivia hoard

Why can’t anything in life excite me anymore

I might be materially well off but spiritually I’m poor

I look through my email again but it’s just ads and spam

I consume the messages online like a docile lamb

The posts on my favorite forums haven’t updated at all

The same old comments keep me temporarily enthralled

I’m so, so, extremely bored…
