Lazy River
I want to float
without fear of sinking,
daydreaming away,
fully charged vape, no blinking.
I want the water cool on my skin
without all the goosebumps,
without fear of what lurks within.
I want to not think
while I do nothing at all,
but I feel so guilty-
like I’ve dropped the ball.
A lazy river for peace and relaxation,
full of nightmarish currents:
Relaxing is lazy-
No separations.
I want to do nothing
and recharge myself,
but doing nothing feels wrong,
wasteful of time
when there’s people to help.
There’s rooms to sweep,
clothes not put away,
I’m behind on sleep,
and still, somehow, I decay
I want to rest without feeling guilty
