Stop! Don't Get Bored Get Excited
This Is Not A How To
This is a why do
Boredom is an awful thing
It catches your eye and hurts more than a bee sting
It slowly numbs your brain
Then you believe nothing is worth a hill of beans
I say phoey
Don't listen to those who say they know everything
It's time to let the bird out
Send it into the marvelous world
Free at last
To do what it always wanted
No more cage to keep it closed in
It was time
Now look around you and pick one thing that interests you
It's not hard
It is quite easy
Start doing what you love
You will see the fire in your eyes
The burning desire
One that no one can ever take away
It trickles down your body like running water
Soon your whole body is in the spirit
Doing something you won't regret
Feelings that make life interesting and a lot more fun
Than reading this part story / part poem
So you have heard this line
Make it a good day
I will tell you to do so much better
Make it a great day
One you will never forget
One that will keep you wanting for more
So find a friend and do something together
Go to your room and do it all by yourself
The thing that matters
Is that you leave boredom behind
And when you feel this way again
Run, jump or shake
Do whatever it takes
Find the one thing in life that you are good at
Teach someone else
Watch and be amazed
How your gifts and talents could of been wasted
But weren't
Because you alone found it in yourself
To be that someone special
That very few people knew
Someone we all can be proud of
Give back to the world
I once knew someone just like you
Who easily got bored
When they had nothing to do
They turned their day around
They got one idea
Followed it through
Let their ideas flow
Rolled the world into a ball and now we all call it
The globe
