Missive To Self

Hey buddy I can’t tell how you feel How you cope and slope How you firmly grasp hot steel Methinks you`re courageous. In stoic life’s state, just state no crime! For you have one irreplaceable, valuable and unbreakable thing. You! Remember a promise to self huh? You promised. You sang, and wrote and developed emblazonment. Conspicuous for sundry No running out of optimistic posits Amid endangered deposits You promised to smile and not to tear down. In somberness ought you not frown. Didn’t you identify with dynamic? Singing songs of the versatile? They still echo loud as yesterday Hope you won’t be tempted to yawn Just in case you inhale toxic, killer and apoptotic ideas They`re never audible, not at all edible Their entrances just whispers, slowly waltz Hey buddy, Give up!

Sure. It's nice I reiterated that. I wrote this on the brink of falling apart after completing my undergraduate standards but failed to graduate because of fee constraints. I felt the ally that could listen to me was pen and paper. Thanks Bill.
