You've Been A Relentless Bug,
You've been a relentless bug,
kicking my mountain of indifference
everytime you passed by.
I was smug knowing the pile is huge,
and your legs are short and stout
your resolve hopefully weak.
Days passed and I caught your glimpse
still digging the mountain
like it works.
One fine rainy day, my mountain
crumpled like a castle of sand
Wrecked like an after disaster.
And you on the top of debris
were seated offering me a hand.
To give myself or to withhold,
Was no more in my command.

I can discuss about durability of a pencil and at the same time about my elaborated gratefulness for a place in the universe. There's no in between for me.

I've been grinding so hard,
it's the tenderness in me-
-that is threatening to escape,
but if I don't continue-
-life and opportunities are still going to do.

Emotionally, I have always wanted to be my softer self. Intellectually, I wanted to hold an invisible sword. As always, I seemed to enjoy diving deep enough to hit the bottom.
The worst kind of self sabotage we allow is by allowing people to not treat us good. There is no justification in the whole world to be treated not good. And we must leave that place the moment we catch the slightest sniff of it. Because once we justify those acts to ourselves, it becomes a habit. A suicidal one for that.

I have often wished to grow so immune to the world and it's nuances, that whenever a part of my heart is mentioned, I stay calm as the ocean. And not jump head straight into the deep abyssal plain of it, and rev in the beauty even when I know it's deep enough to drown me to give the world a show of my madness.
