Dull.
That's what my life has become.
Dull.
Forced to find enjoyment in staring at walls,
Rather than playing basketball with friends.
Dull.
When a movie starts to contain all of what you think you know about the real world.
Dull.
When the stick figures I draw,
Seem to have more fun than I do.
Dull.
Lifeless.
It's like having dry water.
Like clean mud.
It's the one thing life should never be.
Dull.

I guess I wrote this completely on what life has become. When it got to the point that I couldn't go in my own back yard to play basketball with my friend. Hope you enjoy(:

Thanks, (: and I'm sorry to hear that. I don't think life should be like that.
