Acrostic of distraction

Acrostic of distraction

By Tripple diexxxPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Ditching responsibilities for fleeting amusement,

Roaming aimlessly without direction,

Incapacitated by the allure of diversion,

Silently eroding productivity,

Temptation ensnares, leading astray,

Reality's grasp loosening, slipping away,

Allowing thoughts to wander, unfocused,

Captivated by the allure of entertainment,

Taking precedence over obligations,

Inhibiting progress, hindering growth,

Occupying the mind with triviality,

Numbing the senses, numbing the soul.

Delusions of productivity breed complacency,

Resistance to concentration, a siren's call,

Allowing distractions to seize control,

Calling out, beckoning with their allure,

Transforming time into a vanishing ghost,

Isolation from purpose, isolation from goals,

Obscuring focus, like a fog that prevails,

Nebulous thoughts replace clarity,

Distorting priorities, warping reality.

Reclaiming attentiveness, a continuous fight,

Inward strength seeking to uphold,

Sense of purpose, an anchor to hold,

Taming the chaos, embracing clarity,

Regaining control, finding serenity,

Actively pushing distractions aside,

Cultivating concentration, with steadfast stride,

Taking charge, reclaiming lost time,

In pursuit of passions, a reason to climb,

Outshining distractions, shining bright,

Nurturing focus, igniting the light.
