To me the most scariest thing in life isn’t a person, place, or thing

It isn’t a consequence, punishment losing my shoe collection or money

The most scariest thing in life for me is… boredom

I try to avoid boredom in every way shape and form

But no matter how hard I try I can’t escape it, it’s a never ending storm

It attacks everything and has no mercy

It attacks everyone and is always thirsty

Nobody likes Boredom and Boredom likes nobody

Ruining the vibe is Boredom’s favorite hobby

Boredom will come through and finesse your night like Lil Yachty

Try to outrun it, you can’t Boredom is faster than a Bugatti

Okay will not literally but like Boredom does strike pretty fast

I wish I could live my life boredom free but I can’t

Try to imagine a world without school, sleep, nothing to do on the weekend, waitlines, golf.

All those boring things gone?

I mean of course there’s more but still the fact that a world without boredom is imaginable just gets me to want to make that world real

And you can look up the word boring and it’ll say it’s an adjective

But if Boredom is inescapable, that doesn't make any sense

If someone said they haven't been bored, it's lies so they convince

Because Adjectives are defined as opinionated and change between each person

When looking at “applied to all” that definition worsens

So when some tells you boredom is a choice tell them that’s not true

Because boredom applies to all including me and you

Since boredom’s inescapable and is always bad to have

Maybe it would be easier to split my world in half

Growing up is tough and everything is getting boring

A fun and exciting world is something I have been adoring

That life is fictional and I should probably stop

I don’t want to grow up too fast and never reach the top

But since life is getting older, responsibilities are overgrowing, I find less time to think to myself and breathe, knowing that boredom is just another perception of life.

I wrote this poem when I was bored and thinking of something to write, so it makes sense what it turned into
