I wrote this some six months back, I just thought to share... someone might be able to relate.
You know how we love to chew the delicious bubblegum; With the sweetness... Hmmn... The variety of flavours -strawberry, vanilla, mint, coffee, banana etc... Yummy ain't it?
But then tragedy strikes when we bite our tongues!
Ouch! that hurts...
We never mean to....
Nobody ever does
But it happens anyways...
We agonise
We mourn
We are angry at ourselves
We beat ourselves up bout'it
We want to quickly throw away the bubble gum;
The authour of our throes....
The cause of our miseries....
The originator of our pains!
"Why?!", We mourn.
"it was sooo delicious", we cry.
"I don't want you anymore",
"It's not worth the pain".....
Blah blah blah
And then we continue chewing.
Like one who never knew pain
Like one who never just wailed
Like one who could feign...
Feign that all's just great!
Like one who just found LOVE.....
And now;
Our gum,
from which the initial sweetness has disappeared,
tastes sweeter than ever before!
No sugar,
Just an elastic piece of edible matter;
Which you have to chew,
Which you have gotten used to chewing,
Which you haven't even considered to stop chewing!
Stopping is not an option now...
And then the sequence goes thus:
Chew- bite- chew more -bite harder- chew anyways....
Now, we have a mastery of the pain
We have conditioned ourselves to live with it
We have the SITUATION under "control"...
