Lack

Tamara 2003 (Creston)



Lack

I lack the motivation to get up.
I lack the motivation to go get food.
I lack the motivation to fill my water bottle.
I lack the motivation to give good advice and try to be helpful.
I want to stay in bed all day.
I don't want to move, don't want to get up.
My emotions feel as though they’re all over the place and I don't know why.
Tears roll down my face, yet I don't know why.
I don't feel sad.
I don't feel tired.
I’m hungry, yet I have no motivation to get off my ass and go get food.
I don't feel depressed.
I don't feel anxious.
I don't want to sleep.  
I’ve slept too much.
I don’t watch tv.
I don’t play videogames.
I haven’t picked up a camera.
I haven’t done what interests me.
I’m always on technology.
I haven’t picked up a book.
I haven’t written.
I’ve stayed in my bed, doing nothing.
I’m cold.
This room is cold.
There's no warmth in this room, only cold.
I stay in my blanket.
I haven’t taken a shower.
I haven’t brushed my teeth.
I haven’t worn deodorant.
I lack motivation.
