The Fight
I recently had an encounter with malaria and by Jove, it was horrible. I can count on one hand how many times I'd fallen this sick, such aggression, I'd never encountered. You can guess who won right?π
*Cue in "stand up for the champion"*
So guys, that was how it went down. I was really angry at the doctor though, Lord forgive me, I thought he'd given a subpar medication.πI mean, I'm treating stuff and it's refusing to go away?π Now I can laugh about it, but it wasn't funny then.
Oh well, all's well that ends well, I give God the glory.

The Burden of Grief
It creeps up on you unexpectedly
Bringing with it, dead weight
With no time frame of its departure
And so you wait
You wait for the pain that'll soon hit
A pain so deep you feel you can't breath
A pain that feels like drowning
Gasping for air that isn't forthcoming
Then you wait some more
For the reprieve, however brief that comes afterwards
You wait for the guilt to hit
Yes guilt because the had I knowns become what ifs
For the wishes however vain, of doing it all over again
And then you wait, again
For the pain to subside
For the tears to stop flowing
For the ache to end
It's a waiting game
One that never ends
Cos this game, you'll play it over and over
In different ways
Different climes and times
Different scenarios
A never ending cycle
All you can do is wait
For it to run its course

Once Upon a Wish
Once upon a time
I wished upon a well
I wished for a job
Where I’d be paid kabillions without lifting a finger
I wished for love, pure and sweet without the heartache
I wished for painless and ish free human relationships
I wished for a tall dark and handsome man to fawn over me
I wished for a state of the art home in a highbrow area
Without the inconveniences that comes with building a home
I wished to have the perfect family and life
I wished to be successful
But not too successful
I wished to have a joyful life void of challenges
I wished to be grown up and be my own person
I wished to have the wisdom of the sage sans life's hard lessons
I wished for a stress free life
I wished be taken seriously
But not too serious
I wished to “settle”
Now I wish to be free
What else do I wish for?
I wish…
What do I want?
A chuckle floats up the well with a soft voice saying
"Child, you do not know what you wish for
When the fish fly and birds swim
When the grave belches its satisfaction
And the fire cackles in satiation
Then shall you have your wishes
Till then, get yourself another wishing well."

To the lady in the long skirt...
I see you daily
You in your flowing long skirts
Not minding that such's practically gone extinct
Yet you carry on
Like your flowing locks of hair
To the lady in the long skirt
I like your attire
Clothed in modesty's best
I'd like to be you
I'm glad I'm you
Your flowing long skirts to me
Represent unconformity
Defiance
They speak to me
They tell me that I don't need to cater to society's standards of beautification or adornment
They tell deep things
They tell me that I don't need to be naked
To feel loved
That I don't need to go unclad
To be admired
You young lady are brave
You are strong
And I admire you
To the lady in the long skirt
Despite the ridicule
And the laughter
And the name calling
Keep being you
To the lady in the long skirt
You're the girl after my heart
Rock on girl
Don't believe the lie that you're outdated
And old-fashioned
And out of touch
And not fashion forward
Rock on girl
With your long flowing skirts
This is to that lady in the long flowing skirt...
