A/N: Part two of two parts. To me, lethargy and restlessness have a lot in common. The people in the poem are unrelated, yet very similar at the same time. Lethargy and Restless are both used to describe pretty much the same thing, but can be either synonyms or antonyms, depending on the usage.


Restless

Nothing to do

Naught to see

Nothing to read

Naught to pretend

His life isn't so bleak

That he is uncaring

He is merely uninterested

Bored beyond possibilities

Easily distracted to exhaustion

Confused past coherency

It couldn't make sense

…but nothing ever did

To think would cause thoughts

A feat he was currently incapable of

He didn't know what to do

So he settled back reluctantly

Everyone has their moments

Though his seemed to last eons

He just could not decide what to do

And finally, he just turned over restlessly.
