LOST IN MY THOUGHTS

November 10, 2022
By Anonymous

​I spend my time thinking

Thinking about everything

I think about my mistakes

I think about what I could've changed

I think about how life is so boring

I think about how life can also be entertaining

I THINK and THINK and THINK AND THINK!


I get frustrated just thinking all the time

Lost in my thoughts, letting time escape my grasp

I wish I could control time

Stop it so that I can take a breather and enjoy what’s around me

Rewind back to all the times I screwed up so that I can fix what I broke

Fast forward till something gets interesting and see the future I won’t be here for


But instead of all of that, there is only one thing I truly wish for

I wish that this world wasn’t so boring

I wish there was adventure, monsters, magic and swords

Things we only get to see in stories and movies

I wish they weren’t just a fantasy and become reality

But these are only wishes

These are just thoughts

Because all I can do in this lifetime

Is spend my time thinking

Thinking about everything

I’m not very good at writing poems, I’m not good at writing in general. Although this poem is still incomplete and I still wanted to work on it a bit more, I had to turn it in for an assignment. Anyways, this poem is about me being stuck in my own thoughts and how frustrating it is just only being able to think about all these things and being stuck in a world of my own imagination to the point where it hurts my head, I hope the poem is good enough even though it still needs more work. Thanks for reading!
