Ash in the Wind

Lazy Days

Today I had a lazy day
I laid in bed while staring at the device that has slowly taken control of my life
I laid there for hours
The sky watched me through my window, ticking away the light and turning into a beautiful night
The wind slipping through the cracks, whisping thoughts of all the people out there
Everyone telling me I'm wasting my time
I'm wasting my life, they say
I didn't know 24 hours took over the years of living I've done
And the many more that will be born because of me
I didn't know this one day took away my achievements
I wasn't aware my life was determined by this one small day in history
I guess they weren't there when I was working 9 hour shifts
I guess they didn't see the days I spent endless hours mapping out my plans, my future, and my goals
I know for sure they didn't see my smile today
They didn't see me bounce with laughter as I laid comfortably
They didn't see the anxiety leave my mind and body
For once I wasn't stressing over the small things
Hell, I was enjoying the humor of a media video
I was enjoying my time
I was enjoying myself
I dont need to spend everyday running around pleasing everyone who just happens to be looking my way
I deserve to lay down and be happy
I deserve a little reboot to charge up and start the hard work for tomorrow
There's nothing wrong with taking a day to myself
And I won't let anyone take these lazy days away from me
I wont get forced to feel bad about giving my mind and body a chance to sit back and enjoy the bit of free time
In fact, I think I'll roll over in my amazingly comfortable bed
Look all those people right in the eyes
And tell them
I love these lazy days
