I’m Blank

Do you feel weak or sometimes sick?

Do you wonder if there was any trick

That could save you from life’s daring stress

And make you feel not any less?

Darling, there’s a trick.

Why don’t you pause and take a break,

When it feels you can no longer fake

The pain that makes you need a trick.

I woke up with no idea of what to write you today.

I mean, I’m blank.

No style lesson.

No particular fashion gist.

Just a poem of eight lines that came off my head as I began writing.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been sort of overwhelmed recently.

Feeling headache back to back like my brain is fighting with me.

I don’t even know.

I just know I don’t want you to be like me.

I don’t want you to stress yourself until you break down.

You know, if you stress yourself too much without resting, it will tell on your body.

And you won’t achieve your goal to dress like your dreams.

A sick person doesn’t think about dressing well or eating well nau.

A sick person only thinks about getting well.

So, this is me urging you to make that money, eat well and rest always.

When you do the three, you’ll find it easy to dress well and look good.

You’ll find it easy to be stylish too.

Because you won’t have to spend on unnecessary medical bills when you’re hale and hearty.

That money you’d have used on medication will instead be used to cater to your other needs.

Like that particular fashion item you deep in your heart wish to see in your wardrobe.

(even though you may not admit it)

Let me go now.

I sort of have a busy day today.

I guess you’ve got items to handle on your schedule too.

Next Friday I’ll give you premium gist.

But for now, just remain kosher while I’m away.

I also will remain…
