Sitting in his recliner
Head tilted back lazily
Footrest extended fully
Talking to himself
His own best friend
Though not by choice
Just the way it is now
The way it has to be
Mind lost in the TV
Watching a filtered world
Not helping to better it
Not contributing much
Detached and disinterested
Or just mildly amused
Passive but not aggressive
Alone but not alone
Once pride did reside
Now a static wall inside
Built to protect both sides
And there he hides
Though not by choice
Just the way it is now
The way it has to be
