Excitement, action, passion,
You can always keep me laughing.😂
Where at times surprised, just how easy you can make me cry.😢
Well, it’s by design,
I know that you aren’t strictly mine.
Share you with my friends,
all your stories,
horror to true crime.🕵️
You’ll teach me something,
often show it,
with opinions predigested.
Biasing my thoughts,
got my mind here feeling so infected.💭
Documentaries,
shows suppose reality.
dramatized to capture me,
since back in my infancy.🧒
Production teams,
For which I was unprepared.
Just as I learn about you,
I become more and more scared.😨
Embedded in culture,
just feed off of boredom.
Take over our minds,
you don’t even warn ’em.🤯
About dangers, effects,
the lasting impressions.
Got me hooked as a kid,
with cartoon obsessions.🎣
Has me shook with the need,
to stay tuned to just see.
When restricted,
I snap, I’d cry and I’d plead.😩
“Let me see, let me see”
“For 5 minutes please”
Contributing to my Hyperactivity
How would one know,
the cause and effects?
I binge-watch this screen,
like all of my friends!👥
Miniseries, shows, new seasons too,
My eyes are exhausted from staring at tubes.👀
I notice fatigue,
a tiring exhaustion.
A couch prisoner,
the home cell has me locked in.⛓️
How does this fiction have just so much power?
I look to escape,
but it’s my safety, I cower.😨
Though hark, the distance.
What is it I see?
Some green, some birds,
an opening of trees.🌳
My window a screen,
of ultra HD.
The pastures, the forests,
they’re speaking to me.🌄
“Out here there is love,
smells of all kinds.
Sounds, sights, and feels,
overwhelm your soft mind."👸
At first I am distant,
just like a first date.
Partner coming on strong,
haven’t finished my first plate.🍽️
Though I strap my shoes on,
tight on my feet.
I remember TV
has no control over me.🎚️
Emails and texts,
saying “we miss you”,
“was there a problem?”,
“what was your last issue?"💬
Ignored ignored,
for I am not bored,
mother earth is my new girl,
with her i’ve just scored.🌎
Treats me nice,
treats me right.
Always down,
day or night.
When we fight,
quickly she reminds me,
just how she’s always right🙋♀️
I swing from branch to branch,
to dodge a midlife crisis,
In case I one day just wake up,
whiny just like a pisces.♓
Instead, I take control,
of what could happen,
spend my time under waterfalls and trees,
I’m outside laughing.
Cracking up a coconut,
maple trees i’m sucking out the sap and.🌲
Watching life pass me by,
totally fine.
So long as i’m not inside,
with TV controlling my mind.📺
