The Essay on Absolutely Nothing

[Anonymous Apparition]

This morning I woke up tired and hungry
I didn’t feel like getting out of bed
The world is open but my mind is closed
Dreams come and go yet my body never moves
The world is at my fingertips,
I am at a cosmic crossroads
Limitless potential exists
But I have to choose
I choose wrong
I don’t know
I’m lazy
I’m bored
I Sleep
Eat
Work
Repeat
Sleep
Eat
Work
Repeat
repeat
DIE

i would think it end better with live. unless your not living in the poem? than "DIE" would make a bit more sense. you start the poem with a very wide range of glorious imagery that ends up later in the poem to potentially be a form of death. i think i like LIVE more

I love that in my mind,
"I don’t know
I’m lazy
I’m bored"
becomes the core of it all.

Feels sad because you seem to know why you feel the way you do but youre still stuck.

Freedom is a burden. Now what does that paradox mean? What happens when there is no straight meaning of life that is to be sent down to us from divine scripture or scholastic teaching? What happens when the notion of Calvinist determinism is shattered?
