I Am Out of Things to Do

I am out of things to do
I sit at that computer all the time
I have done all I can do
College done
Nothing left to do there
Until the teachers come online
And put up their course outline
I can’t just sit at the computer and stare at the screen
It would make me scream
I am online all the time
I can see when my friends are online
There online the majority of the time
Next to their name is a little green circle
That means they’re there
And I am tempted to start a chat line
Not out of disrespect
But out of boredom
24/7 I am sitting
Waiting
I have done all I can do
What to do
So I write poetry
While I wait on something to come up, to come at me
I have done all I can do with jobs
I wait on responses
Hired or denied
What would you do?
Would you stare at the computer screen?
Waiting
OR would you do something you love to do
It gets boring just waiting
But that’s what I am forced to do
College only
But I have done all I can do with that
At least until the page cracks
And the teachers come online
And put up there design
Their class outlines
I am tempted because I am bored
24/7
I sit
I wait
I have done this for 2 months
It’s not a life to live in
It’s a prison
If there was something I could do
Then I would
But there is nothing to do
