Some days I can't rise.

I don't feel like it.

Because sometimes, there's just no point.

Each day passes

Monotonously.

And sometimes I don't feel like it anymore.

I don't want to handle anything.

I don't want to be bothered.

I want to stay trapped in my own mind.

I want to lie in my bed, only thinking.

Because everything else is boring.

Maybe it sounds selfish,

But I can't help it.

Nothing is

Exciting

Anymore.

I don't feel like

Getting up to live the day through.

I can just do that tomorrow, I guess.

I need to get up, but I don't feel like it

maybe I should get dressed, but I don't feel like it.

Watch the news, but I certainly don't feel like it- not this year anyway...maybe some other time...

I need to mentally prepare myself for work, but I don't feel like it.

I am being paid to answer phone calls, but I don't feel like it.

I am supposed to be happy and helpful, but I don't feel like that either.

Now it is time for lunch, I should eat, but I don't feel like it.

Time to clock back in...but I don't feel like it.

Maybe I should take some prosac, but I really don't feel like it...even though it might make me feel like it.

The end of the day has come..time to start supper- but, yep- you guessed it- I don't feel like it.

Damn- I need milk- have to go to the store...sh** I really don't feel like it.

I have to stand in line and I really don't feel like it.

After supper it's time to shower and get ready for bed... I don't feel like doing that either.

I need to get in the bed and sleep- but heck, I don't feel like it.

I pull my laptap out even though I don't feel like pulling it out.

I open the laptop - I go to theprose.com

Here is a challenge entitled I don't feel like it.

Maybe I should take the challenge?

Do I feel like it..... YES!!!! So here it is.... This is me feeling like it.

"We never go out."

"Do you want to go out?"

I don't feel like it.

"I never hang with your friends."

"Do you want to hang with my friends?"

I don't feel like it.

"We don't have shared hobbies"

"Let's find a shared hobby."

I don't feel like it.

It is the feeling of

Wanting

without reciprocation.

It is suggested

after it is spelled out

without prior regard

for my emotion

and our relationship

If you could read

my minds desires

our life would be

ten times as easy

but for some reason

you don't feel like it.

I don't feel like fighting you. We both want it so badly, it's hard to resist - you're barking out accusations and trying to drill holes in my face with your piercing eyes, and I can't help but say something stupid because it's just so evident that you want me to, anything to justify ripping me to shreds. That why you look strangely open, so impatient to hear what I've got to say just so you can squash it into a neat little bullet that you'll blast at my stupid head. I shouldn't have started this. I should've stayed quiet. I don't regret speaking up, but goodness' sake, you're unbearable. And so loud. But it doesn't have to be this way, does it?

I take a slow breath and make my exhale an apology. You're taken aback, but you seem to accept it. We can move on, and the night can age with dignity.
