I was bored, that’s why I did that 

I was bored so finally texted you back 

I was simply bored so I indulged you in bed But that was also boring - why did I do that? I performed for you and that was fun for Me I made you laugh 

I made you feel bad for Me 

I made you leave 

It’s all manipulation, and that too, was fun for Me Who knew? 

Who knew that being bored could be so fun? 


I realized I don’t like you 

I’m too good for you 

I realized I liked you, only because you liked me They say it’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt So 

I was bored 

I put on a tight black dress, bare underneath Suicide in the air 

Wind in my hair 

Tequila was in my veins 

Oh! I’m not bored! 

My cars through the wire 

Didn’t go as planned 

What’s a girl to do? 

She gets inspired 


Boredom breeds and I can’t have that 

Then I met you - not bored 

I crawled hands and knees 

I was feral for you 

Three weeks later you took me across ocean blue Where’s my boredom? Hello? 

Said I was your Doll 

Boring 

You felt my boredom, now you’re bored, you’re gone. 

At least I’ve got my creature comforts 


My reaper 

My pen 

My hand, my pleasure 

My city 


I’m often bored but fascinated by the mundane

Is that what they call living? I got bored 

I am bored 

I was bored 

So I wrote this 

And if you’re reading this I know 

You’re just as bored 

as Me.
