What you call #lethargic corresponds to what I call Adderall-induced frenzy. In other words, only someone sped up to a dizzying velocity would think me sluggish. The rhythms of the world fast and slow exist in their full right. Each has a secret meaning. Speed flattens all to its dimension.

Oh how sweet
The fight to stand tall
With broken ankles
Twisted fingers

Broken smiles
All laughs
At your weakness
Be strong & die already
Let me laugh all the way to hell
Stupid efforts
Wasted attempts

To fail to outrun the #lethargic flaw
Fatefully killing you softly

Feeling #Lethargic
My vision blurred by a #catharact

My life sure ain’t a #splendor
But I’m not #timid either.

Just tired, with poor vision.

He was in mourning, of course. Dead wife and all.

No wonder he seemed so tired, so #dreary. So #lethargic.

They smiled sadly, sympathetic, understanding.

But they didn't hear the midnight steps. The moans.

They didn't know her like he did.

"Till death," he whispered.

If only.

‘Get your room cleaned,’ Mum says.
Alice slouches further into the armchair.
‘What did I just say?’
‘But Mum, I’m so #lethargic.’
‘Lethargic, my backside.. You get up them stairs and get that blooming bedroom cleaned before I swipe you one.’
Alice slumps, and huffs loudly #vss356

The truth lies, lethargic
In the thinnest aperture
Observing but distracted
A corollary flaneur

Veracity and history
Rarely share a bed
She’s heard his lies a million
times
And knows just how this ends

My mind was
Not is
Sharp as it was young
I planned 2 travel globally
Study in Oxford
Find love in Japan
Die in Monterey

Whilst planning rails & iron paths fused my fate into life endangering
Death defying adventure
Where i got beaten #lethargic
by deceptive promises & lying second chances…

Woken up from his #lethargic state, Cosmo stared at Bailey. It wasn't like for her to be unkempt. What happened to her crew cut hair and why was she wearing black lipstick?
"You just couldn't leave me alone," Bailey fumed.
"What the hell happened to you?" Cosmo said. #vss365

Picture of a very still lake in winter. The line between sky and water is hazy and the blue of the water reflects the bright blue of the sky. There are a few small bits of ice scattered like clouds on the surface of the water

The lake, feeling #lethargic,
turned her head and covered
herself up with sky.
No one will find me here, she
murmured, startling a flock
of Buffleheads
who thought that they were flying.

"Riz, you can't just sleep around doing nothing! Get up and help me get this place clean!" I said.
"Oh dear," Riz replied through a yawn. "I seem ta ave ran out of fuks ta giv. If I waznt so apathetically #lethargic, I'd round sum up fer ya."
"You're a twat."

Dog's #lethargic yawn
Lazing in sun's dying rays
Another day gone

Mist coiled near his leather shoes while he walked down a pathway. He climbed into a car, started its engine, and pulled out of the driveway, but the car felt #lethargic. When he stopped at an intersection, he realized it wasn’t even his car. Another misadventure due to insomnia.

The process always left her #lethargic for a few days after

It made sense, the transfer was quite the ordeal

Especially if she chose a new host that had a large intellect

It took all her strength to overpower a strong mind and take control of their body
#vss365 #vsshorror

when one of us is resentful
towards something the other has done
we argue and make peace

when one of us wants to escape
from the ropes of responsibilities
we share the problem and go on

when you feel #lethargic
may I be patient enough
to carry the candle of relationship

The destruction of Delphi had done something, at least. Breaking the alliance council out of their dithering and #lethargic responses. Finally they could start to take the fight to The Enemy.

Dylan, like everyone else, didn’t know where The Enemy were, though. Finding them would be hard.

Rory had to find the reason behind the #lethargic attitudes of the villagers. He had already ruled out the food and the water from the well, and a local apothecary had ruled out disease.

That left only one possibility. Magic. Which meant someone was doing this purposefully. But why?

under the blood moon
a human solar panel
limp and lethargic

In the system of Timothy Leary, alcohol leads to oblivion, lethe. The world is erased, the past and in the present you are quite #lethargic a piece of meat. When someone reads this definition doesn't like it, but in practice it's as if Lord Byron's pleads for oblivion in "Manfred" are heard

The weekend
slowly arrives
then quickly goes
Drawing a line
at the end of a week
sometimes filled with
dramas and despair
Lethargic lie ins
a brief respite
On Sunday morning
Taking a dog for
a long walk
Watching mindless
television
The weekend can be full

spirit #lethargic
body misaligned with mind
my poor heart suffers

They gave the surplus
what they had to spare
loose change
silver jingling
through the air

like a paper boat
riding the ripples
on a shallow pool
drifting nowhere

#Lethargic thoughts
scattered & scarce
Just hollow shells
for an insatiable soul

This poem feels
a little #lethargic today,
but thinks it might
be the weather.
It is sure that, tomorrow,
afte a good nights' sleep,
it will be able to realise
its full potential again.

With a lethargic feeling pushed aside, it was a panic-mode decision that took over her heart, which felt lodged in her stomach that in turn seemed to hang around her ankles. Good news was that his power of enamour faded so she left.

Another one!
I'm getting back in the writing groove...
(I wanted to write an upside down sonnet, but the piece had other ideas... in all honesty it probably wants to be longer, but I didn't let it.... yet...)

Drained, lethargic
Painted target
On my back
Be more
Who I am is lacking
The skill, the will
Nothing is real
Time to move on
This personality
Is slacking
