Poem: Stay or Go?

 

Poem: Stay or Go

By Abby Weyr

17-18 June 2025

 

Constant discussion in my head

Stay or Go?

Things and places I should do and be at

But I do not want to leave home

Just stay home in PJs.

Discussion goes on for hours.

Sometimes it ends too late to care.

Does anyone care anymore?

As age the stay home wins more

Take too much energy to overcome the stay

To get ready to go – clean and dress

Especially going alone

Or if too many people will be there.

Am I a prisoner of my mind in my home?

I eat same boring foods

Want to eat tasty foods without side effects

Do the same boring things

Want adventure with a companion

No one interested in sharing

They have their own adventure

I am too different

I am too tired

I am too boring

To have a companion

To share adventures with

Try to encourage self to go alone

Don’t need a companion for adventures

Tired of going alone

Scared as age of going alone and

Not able to deal with what might happen

No one interested in same type of adventures

I invite and get no response

No one invites me along

Feel like I’m a boring burden

Or boring bump on log
