Give a slip

Give slip

Friday,9th November 2018

 

I felt not good

but did not try to understand

what could have gone wrong?

I felt no strong

 

I gave a simple slip

and went to sleep

why keep bad memory?

and feel sorry for today

 

But it was and had to be forgotten

and it did not allow me to let

the thought was occurring often

I was desperately driven

 

Some conciliatory thought surfaced

why do you chase it?

today is meant to avail another chance,

to try and seize it at once

 

it appealed me more

thereafter I didn't feel sore

I ventured more and explored

the energy for today is definitely stored
