Straying mind

Oh! Will you make a mockery of me if I thrive and jive vivaciously to the upbeat tune of fallacy?

Will you deride me if I found solace and consolation in the comforting, reassuring embrace of insanity?

I asked; will I be an object cruise to you if and when I ultimately give in to the temptation of delusion like a sailor succumbing to the allurement of the song of siren in the sea.       

But what am I to do?

When I'm woken only to be met by the harsh-stern-cold-menacing glare of this horrible inexplicable realm

What am I to do?

When the bitter reality wrecked my dream ship on the sharp rock of my very existence.

What am I to do?

When life gust of winds pulverized my humble abode tearing it down in ruins 

What am I to do?

When the evil-minded reality villainously derailed my unwary train on a voyage to the land of dream actualization

What am I to do?

It also refers to the quality or appeal of being new.  In our daily lives it is widely seen how people go on to fulfill the quest of novelty in purchasing material items such as the latest phones, latest designer items which include clothes, shoes, bags, watches, cars, gadgets and so on.
