It's been hard these last few days,
The heart it beats erratically,
Clinging to the fraying edge,
Small mercies taken where they fall.
The tinnitus of modern life
Where pressure is a constant curse
And ulcers underline the hours
Of spinning wheels and turning clocks.
The cycle has no end in sight,
A rising flood to struggle through,
And molehills very soon become
A cumulative mountain range.
We do what we do because we must,
Face what's thrown at us head on,
Each new day we start again,
Exhausted from our sleepless nights.
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.
