Humdrum- Lacking excitement, boring, monotonous
There are two versions of humdrum that I apply to self
My take on version one below shelf
Humdrum is beyond the literal meaning on monotony and feeling bore
When I have a tight work schedule and then completing household chore
Even in routine humdrum ,I feel a purpose
But when I push myself beyond working hours in office tasks, interest I lose
Humdrum comes into picture when my mind is not in focus
More I rest and scroll through scrap, without any matter I do make fuss
Humdrum takes over me and my monkey mind wired
And I start being restless , even with ample sleep I wake up tired
Humdrum is the guilty pleasure for me which I feel as a break
But it makes me lethargic and takes me away from my stronger make
Version 2 focus on strength humdrum aids
My worries and stress in no times fades
Writing poem for me breaks the humdrum lifestyle
Through journaling I can release my feelings that pile
Also it instantly changes my mood and I don't feel alone
Indulging in hobby emits feel good hormone
I admit that Humdrum becomes my comfort zone alas
I appreciate the discipline humdrum has
Example - As I wake up the morning routine has become part of my life precise
When I do the checklist I aim to , it's the most treatured prize
Be it following same pattern on prayers or a light exercise
Humdrum knows when I am low , it listens to my silence in boredom
Both versions are part of me some
My mindset determins how I see humdrum
Depends on how calm my mind is or based my tantrum !!!
