|”Know the enemy and know yourself. — Sun Tzu”

There’s a deep dark hole in my network,

incautiously consuming my peers

Is it somewhat a scary, creepy bug?

Is it likely a sneaky, crawling beast?

or probably a deadly phantom in a flash?

I sincerely wanna help in fixing it

Yet I have only one pair of swabbing hands

Right now I am feeling so exhausted;

All I ask is a breather or two,

Then we could have a fresh start once and for all.

Thus, be still, and keenly watchful,

You just might not know,

You are discreetly harboring it inside of you;

Promise me, dear, you will take much care;

This is the only way we can save each other.

My Deafening Egoic Self

By Josh Balerite Acol

|My ego mumbles, my world crumbles…

Rowdy rumbling echos

“You are a weakling…”

“You are ordinary”,

“No I am not!”

“Soon I will win!”

Life goes on, and on,

Into an endless pursuit,

You’ll never know why,

Or who you really are,

Unless you try.

So what for now?

Be content with what you got? or

Ignore everything that sparks?

And finally, kick your butt!

to face your doubts.

Should have done that

a long time ago

But isn’t it possible,

just now?

Isn’t every day a fresh new start?

Then, better do it pronto!

Or you’ll have a lifetime

grieving over it,

Crazily lamenting

the passing of time.

What matters most,

is being true to yourself.

Be bold. Take risks.

It’s now,

Or never.
