Go hang with yourself

Appreciations from relations



You read

This and that and that and this

Stealing time ever from never ending daily hunt

For the bloody bread and a shadow to live under

Chasing books from libraries after libraries

Walking, Cycling, travelling by buses after buses

Trains after trains

They commented you were a crank.



You wrote

That and this and this and that

Coaxing time to let lease some from never finishable obligations

For the bloody cheese you need to paste for family formalities

Working nights after nights

Squatting, sitting, standing with aches and pains

Pages after pages

They mentioned you were a freak



Some published

This and that and that and this

Using your time to filling their spaces to get a final shape

For the bloody money and honour they bound to keep

Paying, praising, bossing with cool clever strategy;

Years after years.

They remarked you were a mercantile



You ceased

That and this and this and that

Writing nothing turn searching the tunnels of your mind

For the bloody craze and thirst you need to quench

Seeking, weeping to find the answers you need

Days after days

They confirmed you were extinct



You restarted

This and that and that and this

Reading and writing by getting new light from opened windows

For the bloody run you chose to begin and need to end

Suffering, toiling to repay the honours you received

Hours afters hours

They blamed you were incurable.
