Push! Push a little more.
Oh, how I bear your burdens.
And your hopes. And dreams.

I can't take it anymore.
Do you find a glimpse of consent
on my wet lips?
Or am I feigning ignorance
to the pain?
Pucker up! Says the world.
Were you around when
the world was left on my shoulders?
You watched me on statues,
you loved my stability.
You admired the way I juggled life.
Yet, did you share my burden?
Or did you offer,
a hand, an iota of support?
If the answer is nay,
then shouldn't you just
shut the fuck up?

The only reason why I'd set up this blog, was so that I could explore the literary avenues a little more.

I wanted to write, dunno about what, but I just wanted to write. It took the fizz out of me whenever I wrote a couple of lines of my own. And it felt so good to read it, even after years, and try and spot mistakes, areas of improvement. In other words, I wanted to be my own teacher. Ergo, the blog was set.

But lately, I have been going through a dilemma. I spend at least 2 hours of my day infosnacking. Must be a crazy liking for trivia, but it just so happens. So, what resulted was, my blog, which was once a very pristine, wordsmith's creation, faltered. And it turned into what I call a "blackboard". You can't guess what the last subject was because it shows you an equation on the left side and a poetry line on the right. And, for the first time ever, at times, my blog did not match my mood.

So, I am setting up a second one now. Going forward, this is the rule that I'll follow: evaluations is only about my observations that I come up with during infosnacking moments. And joyride is for the pure thrill of letting words flow. So, it is said, and so it shall be.
