WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

The Button

You wanted to see what the button would do
So you pressed it.
Didn't think at all what might happen to you
You just pressed it.
I'd been standing there thinking for over an hour
But pushing that button was not in my power.

Too many variables, too many unknowns
So I left it.
Force without thought I just cannot condone
So I left it.
So which one of us did the right thing?
Tell me is action or intellect king?
You opened the door and stepped out
While I stayed inside in a moment of doubt
Wondering if things would have changed if I'd been less retiring.
