How Bored Am I?

How bored am I here at work

Earlier today I had the biggest jerk

Standing 'round waiting on time

The flow of people stopped on a dime

No people here but staff

To myself I just laugh

So tired from working this double

Every thought like a bubble

Into space I stare, lost in thought

In this hell I feel I shall rot

How bored am I

Just staring at the sky

Counting down the hours 'till I go home

Wishing the streets I could roam

Anything to flee from this place

Anything to be with my own race

In a place where I'm not the only one

Who speaks English, and not just for fun

I tone them out, especially today

Because I'm just that bored.

~ Jessica

Into Space

Staring off at the wall

Feeling like I'm about to fall

Free as a bird without a care

Feeling the wind blow through my hair

Into space I travel again

Floating free, holding only a pen

On the walls I begin to write

Hoping my mind will soon take flight

These wonderful walls of white

In my mind I've reached a new height

Floating free into space

Coming down, the clouds I'll chase

Returning home to find you here

Sit and wait and have a beer

Fluffy feet go running past

Guess it's not 'home at last'

Still off in space with such a buzz

Everything around me has some fuzz

Which way is up and which is down

Reality returns, and I'm left with a frown.

Still Bored

Slow day today, nothing to do

Stare at the ceiling thinking of you

Watch and wait for time to

Almost like fishing for bass

Sit and wait, wait and sit

So bored you think you're going to have a fit

But then it all pays off and the day is done

Then it's time to go have fun

Home from work to be with my man

This place I work I wish I could ban

Hate my life, hate my job

To the world I'm nothing but a slob

No friends, no fun

Seems I'm always on the run

From myself, not the cops

I guess for that I should get props

Dishes can wait, I just want to write

Though I know on this, the manager would fight

What do I care, been here all bloody day

5 minutes of peace, let me have my say

Still bored out of my mind

A new job I really have to find

Forever lost in space

Aching for my special place... My bed.

~ Jessica

The Untitled Poem

Wanting something I can never have

Wishing I were the Queen to some elaborate hive.

Feeling things I haven't fell in a very long time

Seems for me, life will forever stop on a dime.

Nothing ever pans out

Sitting around with a pout

Why not me ? Why not this once ? I ask

Wishing right now I had a flask

Life sucks, always has, always will

This void in my life, never to fill

Days turn to weeks, then a month, next a year

Everything surrounds me in fear.

I want to make a change but I don't know where to start

Seeing as how I'm not "school smart"

A life of fast food seem to be all I'll get

A life full of stress and regret

Wanting something to call my own

Not always living in the in-laws home.

Seeing others with what I want makes me sad.

But then I look at you and only feel glad.

Because you're my rock, my all.

And without you, I would surly fall.

What To Do

What to do, what to do

The sky is not blue

Nothing sounds good

At least nothing I should

Want to drink and sleep

Somewhere inside I want to weep

Bored with work and life

Want to end it all with a knife

Be rid of this existence I hate

Knowing deep down that isn't my fate

To take the easy way out

That's not what life's about

Watching as the puddles form below

The lights softly aglow

With this peace of mind

My strength should be easy to find

But alas, I am weak

Like a piercing through your cheek

I am but flesh and blood

Though I feel like a stick in the mud

Always in the way

Listening to what others say

Sitting and wondering what to do

When outside is anything but blue.

~ Jessica
