it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown
it's a silly time to learn to swim on the way down

You can't help but wonder why.
Why a singular person's course of action,
or rather inaction,
can trigger off a series of events
that implicates so many.

Can't help but think
that they would have rather starved,
then get off their lazy asses and walk
over to the hawker centre to buy dinner.

I wonder why i even bother anyway
to buy dinner for the 3 of them.
one sleeping, one playing computer, one watching TV,
all complaining.
missing my mum,

what do i need to do to get myself in a better mood
that's easy: many many chips ahoy cookies,
seaweed, and a packet of mamee,
late night snack to stay sane.
