The norm of being
happy is forced
Everyone comes and
goes with a smile and force
Are you really happy?
Are you really joyful?
What we do the rest
of the year?
The norm of being
happy is forced
You help each other,
you aid the needy
Where were you before?
What were you doing?
Help once a year? Aid
once a year?
The beauty of being
helpful is gone
The norm of being
happy is forced
You find your family,
you celebrate and love
The rest of the time,
you are just a thorn
Only doing what’s
forced, only getting by
You are fake and you
know it, not jolly at all
The norm of being
happy is forced
After everything is
done for
You go back to the
old self
Whether it’s naughty
or nice
You were fake all
along, how shameful
The time of the year
where
The norm of being
happy is forced

Hello everyone,
I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the lack of updates here on Bytes of the Ink. The past weeks have been busier than expected, with work commitments and a few personal matters taking priority. Unfortunately, that meant this space didn’t get the attention it truly deserves.
That said, this pause doesn’t mean the blog has been forgotten—far from it. Writing, sharing ideas, and building this creative space is still something I care deeply about. Sometimes life just hits a little harder, and schedules don’t always go as planned.
The good news? Things are starting to settle, and I’m gearing up to bring fresh updates very soon. Expect new posts, new thoughts, and more consistent content coming your way. I truly appreciate your patience and support during this quiet period.
Thank you for sticking around and being part of Bytes of the Ink. More is on the way—promise.

Why should I thank
you for it? What do I thank myself for?
You are there, I am
here, alive and well
One must wonder,
alive and well?
Bringing love,
bringing sadness, experience is bliss
Experiencing hype,
experiencing lessons
Finding new ways to
feel, new ones to love
I wish you well, I do
not wish you death
Why should I thank
you for it? What do I thank myself for?
We are apart, we don’t
talk much about it
I smile and move on,
I must move on
Life is never
stopping, I must rebuild
Finding the people we
love, fighting for them
Even when they don’t
love back, you fight, you must fight
Blood means
everything, but it can also mean nothing
Be thankful for me, I
was always thankful for you
Why should I thank
you for it? What do I thank myself for?
I think of myself and
build up what was taken from me
I love, I think, I
rebuild, loving everyone I can
In my own ways, in a
slain way
The mind can only
take so much, you must love
Your body can only
hold so much, you must fight
I rebuild, I will
always rebuild
I survive, like a
roach getting stepped on again
I always come back, I
will always be thankful for that
My inner strength,
the strength I give myself
To keep fighting, to
keep thanking
Good people are
around us, very few
Why should I thank
you for it? What do I thank myself for?
As for family, we
will always be united
Even from afar and
after life has gone by
Time keeps moving,
there won’t be another of the same
We make what we do,
we love, we cry
I love you all, even
when I’m hated, ignored, unloved
Why should I thank
you for it? What do I thank myself for?

With her silly snout,
she looked at me, the simplest things
Talking to me with
her stare, communicating she was
Awaiting my next
move, she stared a bit longer
She tastes her lips,
waiting, just waiting
With a jump off her
bed, she was ready, we were ready
The pup’s day has
begun; the simplest things
The pup had her
routine, forever joyful of the simplest things
With a high pitch
voice, I spoke, she jumped of joyfulness
If she could speak, I
wonder what she would say, I wonder
Wonderful happiness,
not asking for anything in return, I adore
Always positive,
always leading the way, the simplest things
The companion pup was
loved, the simplest things
Playing with her
toys, looking up above, she wonders
Waiting for her
treats, being a good pup, she was
Loving every second
of it, hating when I left, she cries
Until you come back,
wonderful to have you back, the simplest things
The day moves on, she
naps next to you, the simplest things
She shows she loves
you and wants to be with you, her stare spoke
Never taking anything
for granted, she jumps of joy, a lovable pup
We do everything
together, she loves head pats, she smiles
I will forever
remember you, enjoy the moment, the simplest things
