I lie in bed
 I stare at a screen 
 I rest my head
 My body leans
 To the side
  
 No urge to work
 No drive to do
 Duties shirked
 I push through
 I sighed
  
 I’m okay
 I worked from home before
 I say  
 It’s a mental drawer 
 I lied
 To myself
  
 One step forward 
 I walk down the hall
 Unconsciously bored
 Head meet imaginary wall
 I tried  
  
 Pretend it’s fine
 Convince myself 
 Close the blinds
 Uneven mental shelf
 Catch the thoughts before they slide
  
 Go through motions 
 Curl up in ball
 Check my notions 
 Continue with gall
 I’m trying.
  
 Me
 Listlessly
