“Even on the worst days, there’s a possibility for joy.” –Kate Beckett (Castle, Episode 5x03)

In recent times, when someone asks me ‘How are you doing?’ I’ve been responding with ‘I’m happy. Life is awesome’, instead of the generic ‘I’m doing fine.’ One of my colleagues asked me if I was on drugs. No, it’s not over-enthusiasm. It’s the truth.

*No conditions apply

“It’s okay. Leave everything and come back home.” She says. A hundred thoughts go through my head, the least of them not being that I am actually considering it. Like it would really be that easy.

The Drinking Game

With pointless hope, I life my spirits

Believing or not, just the same

But then, to speak, my tongue has limits

My words lost in the drinking game

They told me not to drink alone

Snubbed them, as I nursed my bane

What is the use? My words are gone

Now I will never drink again

Across the bar - arrogant, he stands

Seducing me into the dark

I stare, aghast at bleeding hands

My words have hit their mark.
