Bored. Too bored to even rack my mind for a synonym. My English teachers emphatically insisted upon vivid words
that promote imagery. But my major is in the field of science -
imagery has no place in homework for my college professors. The only
acceptable imagery is that which takes place in the laboratory - it's
termed observation here. My creativity is hampered in my studies - my
linguistic proficiency is diminished by my extended leave of absence
from places my heart once called home. My right brain threatens
atrophy. I cannot focus when my path leads to a life I cannot suffer.
Success and stability await me there but I cannot endure separation of
my soul from my body. Seeking a reunion, I must distance myself from
the life I convinced myself to pursue. I may be too proud to accept
handouts but I am not too proud to admit I was mistaken after three years. It's tough to turn myself around, though. Where to, soul?
Too afraid to stand and fight; Too much pride to fly away. Cowardice: immobilize Egos lacking skill to play! Games of conflict can’t be played By those afraid to deal a hand. Flightless birds avoid their call Ostriching heads in the sand. Thanks, Trifecta for the prompt, which requested an animal name be used as a verb. I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.
