Humdrum Afternoons


I face the wall solemnly, 
Hoping to hinder the 
Perpetual stream of humdrum afternoons. 
Sunlight sidles through curtain cracks, 
Only to be shredded by the dark, 
Gloom-encrusted walls. 

I am confined to my dreary room, 
Deprived of liveliness, 
Bound to insipid repetition. 
Time moves ever so quickly, 
Yet my life is standing still. 
Deadlocked in stalemate. 

Though my senses function adequately, 
My heart beats factitiously. 
How ironic it is to be alive, 
But to not be living. 

I yearn to possess merriment, 
Yet I sit idly alone 
As a component of a drab, 
Recurring cycle.
