So, unfortunately, today was alright, but this evening was terrible. I don't know why. All my anxieties, worries, and concerns hit me like a brick. Should make for a good riddle though.
Wheel of Genres, turn, turn, turn! Tell me the genre I will discern!
Today's style is... Riddle.
Thirty minutes on the clock: 30:00. And... go.
What is it...
That gives a man unparalleled joy
and untold misery,
That spells doom upon a woman's brow
and frightens a child?
What is it...
That fetters a man in fruitless pursuits
and reveals him to be naught
but hollow and ash?
What is it...
That could cause a man to forsake his lover,
to surrender his title and possessions?
What is it...
That gives a man reason and purpose beyond all
but reveals him to be mad?
What is the answer to a question with all bearing,
but questions all un-bearing answers?
What causes a man to be of the world but not in it,
and in the world, but not of it?
One who knows nothing, can understand nothing;
and one who understands nothing, can know nothing.
To what end will a man make his existence shudder,
and what existence shudders a man's end?
Thus is the world's greatest coil and greatest liberty.

I would say stop the clock, but I wasn't keeping the time. Regardless, this only took about ten or fifteen minutes. I quite like it. I feel like this captures the sorrow of my soul quite well. (Hm, that's a nice poetic phrase.)
Keep writing, my friends.
