A laid-back emotion – called?

 

I am looked down upon,

As a terrible thing,

Children embrace me,

While the adults hate me.

I am always unwelcome,

A disease that people shun away from,

Yet I am part of their lives,

Like the lines on their palms.

Often, I wonder,

Why can’t they just let me be?

Allow their heart to feel me deep,

I have my own purpose,

I am an emotion, 

As much part of human nature,

As any emotion can be.

I lament when people struggle to overcome me,

I don’t take well to fights against me,

The only way to overcome me,

Is to simply surrender to me and 

I in turn will set you free.

Often, I wonder,

What is so bad about me?

Your body is most relaxed,

While with me,

Your mind is most empty,

In my presence. 

Yet you look to disturb me?

I am the calm, before the storm,

I am the dark night, before a bright dawn.

I am the empty canvas, that a painter turns into a masterpiece,

I am the state of mind that precedes all turning points in life.

Accept me,

Trust me,

Embrace me,

Experience me,

I am the seed from which great ideas are born, 

I am the state of mind that takes you into a contemplative space,

I am the emotion that connects you most to yourself.

Simply let me be, and I will shape your thoughts to the ‘T’.

I am boredom.
