Weekend Inertia

Aah come the much awaited weekend

And what do we typically do?

Fritter it away

Like there was no other care!

A hectic week, followed by a lethargic weekend

Can never fathom where it went

Time just seemed to zip by

Nothing could I do about it but simply sigh

While I sat motionless rooted to the spot

I was cast away from my lot

Did not feel like completing my weekend chores

Wished someone would lift me out of my woes

I felt to tired even to relax

Sleep was elusive and kept me feeling taxed

Switching on the TV made my head hurt

I kept on wondering why my weekend was cursed

Just two days in a week do we get to unwind

Then why must I feel as if I'm in a bind?

Why can't I have some fun and let things go

For once let my hair down and polish my toes

Why does the weekend finish

Before it even began

Why do I feel like a sardine stuffed in a can

Will someone point me out of this misery? Please man!

This never-ending inertia will drive me insane

I've tried everything to cure this lethargy but in vain

Two days have passed and I've done nothing but crib and cry

It's just been no use how much ever I tried

Sometimes we just need to get away from everything

That's when staying still and motionless helps more than anything

When you truly crave inner peace

Spending time reflecting is something you can do in the least

Hope this lethargic monster

Will go away yonder

Never to return and make my blood burn

So that I can enjoy my weekend by being active at each turn.
