Well, I think you are winning the battle if you have written this poem against this beast. And what better way to win than by exploring new ideas and new forms of poetry?

I wondered if you were addressing the monster here:
Monster I have lost the will to escape. (if so, a comma after Monster would help) I know punctuation is optional in poetry but it helps to clarify sometimes.

Well, a great poem on such a real subject. Everyone of us gets bored at some point in our life. We cannot deny that. It just happens. Then we must do something about it. Go skydiving, drive really fast, get the adrenaline moving in your body and you will wake up alive! It works. Keep up the great work!

Fortunately, I am never bored, there are never enough hours in the day to do everything. My two great loves are writing poetry and exercising and both take far too much time! Life is full of so many rich things, and having an inner attitude of appreciation can change your outlook. I felt the pain of this monster inside you here Kirsten, your words are honest and pure, love Dolly x x x

    Thank you. I am on disability and I don't have a job. The boredom is real. IT is painful to be idle. My mind just wanders into dark places.

Writing is and will always be my life blood...a way to escape whatever is weighing me down. I see by your picture that you are into the abstract. Maybe returning to writing will help you narrow your focus. I wish you the best, Kristen. Don't give up...instead of shackles, let it be a doorway to new adventures.
Smiles, Carol

Oh yes, I've been writing for thirty five years now, and quite frankly I couldn't stop, it is one of the most life restoring forms of activities one can indulge in, beautifully written, blessings Roy

Your poem really shares the weight of boredom in such a powerful way! The way you frame it as a beast you have to fight makes it feel so intense. I especially love how you wrote this as an acrostic - so creative.

Actually, when we have writing in our blood, is there forever we will spend many hours writing things whether we publish him or not we still need to write and I hope you will continue to write because you are a good writer. Patricia.
