FROM A BLOGGERS MIND by nicholas ayoola oladehin

I blogged

till my eyes were sore

till I saw things in doubles

till I ached from been on one spot

till my head banged

till I went numb in my hands

till I heard imaginary things

till I became addicted to my screen

till I saw the birth of a new day

till I heard the early cock crow

till I realised it was time for work

till I missed the early bus

till I smelt the burn from my meal

till I fell in love with letters

till I started a date site

till I started marrying letters to form words

till I missed all my calls

till I lost track of time

till I started blogging in my dreams

till I lost ample weight

till I was forced to eat junk

till I forgot my birthday

till I couldn’t hear the bell ring

till I missed my bath for days

till I saw the day turn to night

till I could see the sun set

till I became addicted to windows 7

till I forgot my first name

till I couldn’t remember my best mate

till I lost my job

till I woke up with blood thick eyes

till I became lost in my own world

till I went off food for days

till I was lost of all strength

I blogged

Till I could blog no more

Till I knew it was time to say goodnight
