What if I wake up and my illness is gone? What if one day I wake up to a perfectly healthy body? No fluid retention, gout is gone, BP back to normal. Will I still do the things that I have always done? Will I change? Will I reflect on mistakes and filter my bad habits? But then, I know this will not just simply go away. But then again, living in misery, affected by all the syndromes isn't a good way to keep living. I will wake up and live as if there are no ailments. But…
A mobile Saturday I did nothing this day. I just washed the clothes using a washing machine. I rinsed them and put them on the spin dry. I put them out to dry. But had to get them inside the house when it rained prematurely for the day. I then fed my kids and ate dried fish with my sibling who happen to come by my house.

A park to walk each day I walked the park leading up to the place where I earn my keep. I smell the fresh air amidst the sweaty joggers of the morning.

I just sigh and hope for my body to make a comeback. I lie to my soul. That reality is but a dream. You have today what you thought would be impossible.…
Water thudding, I wake up scowling The water drops are louder than my snore. I was awoken. Irritated and tired. I waited a few seconds. It didn't stop thudding. Let it drop let it drop. I used my pen to talk about it. After all, I am thankful for the prompt. Oh yes, this is indicative that I am under a roof that has holes or imperfect concrete. Yeah, my house's not finished yet so I have these episodes of annoying yet wholesome experiences. In truth, I am not annoyed. I was…
