After fighting a tough battle with the cruel world, with a mustered up brave front, I return back.
To tell you my darkest fears and to reveal my cowardly self.
After celebrating glorious successes, de boarding from a fly-high trip with some of the jealous world and some of the genuine world , I return back.
To listen to a speech about "how not to get lost in the success-comfort-zone" and to get my head back on my shoulders.
After going through a bout of hope-drain, having fought back tears of agony, I return back.
To cry them out to you and listen to your piece of advice to "take care of myself" and to keep up the hope.
After making a mistake, which escapes the eyes of the world, I return back.
To plead guilty since no mistake escapes your ever scrutinizing eye.
After taking that biggest step, the life changing decision, biding good-bye to the old, I return back.
To whisper my loneliness rant to you and to get rest assured that "all is going to be good".
After all things good and bad, after the many brave, cowardly, hopeless, successful, worthless facades and bouts that I go through during the day, I return back to thee, my subconscious mind, my pillow, to show you who I really am and to get my batteries recharged. Be it, a happy day or a not-so-good, my heart cries out for this time to RETURN back to you.
Even an insomniac knows what it is to return back to the pillow, where you hold secret conversations with the sub conscious mind. The one that reveals to you all that you truly are which even the best mirror in the world can't.

You are absolutely right. The pillow is indeed our best friend at the end of a long tired day. And you know the best part? It ain't judgmental! That was a most unique take on the subject. All the best!
:)Nice write up. We often share a secret relationship with the pillow don't we all?
Best for BATOM
I agree with Dreamer,the best part is it doesn't judge you at all.How relaxing it is to smile into your pillow or cry your heart out..at the end of the day,its always there ready to welcome you into its warm & soft embrace :)
all the best for BAT

Hey Tuppence. It's my first time here.
I started liking your blog the moment IO realized the derivation of tuppence.
The post is very good. Everybody can relate to it. Initially I thought it was a soldier returning back (when the world thought he was brave but only he knew the truth.)
But the post reminds that everyday we fight... and eventually return to the pillow.
I like the fontcolor-change approach to tell the difference between real world and pillow talk.
Very Nice. Good job. and Good luck.
And i personally think we should BANmario. He is leaving these comments everywhere. Disgusting.)
Yes Tuppence, I could relate to all of the points you shared here!
Very nice take! All the best!
@all Thanks.
Oh Yes! Pillow is our best friend..
hmm..about it not being judgemental, that s the best part , that was the idea behind the post as well..
@Kshitij - You have understood the essence of the post really well

u knw, aftr reading the post , the thing tat rings in ur ears is "I RETURN BACK" ! tat is an inspiration in itslf , n te depiction u provided is unparallelable ! retuning back to ur pillow , ur solace , whr u cn laugh n ur laugh warms it up , whr u cn cry , n it takes away all ur tears, whom u cn hug n it becomes te one whom u miss....lovely thought , lovely depiction , truly heart warming ! loved ur post ! keep up te good work ! cheers !
Very honestly and succinctly put.
Esp the way you have used something as simple as italicized fonts to express the introspective thoughts.
And of course,the use of the pillow as a metaphor was brilliant!
I think almost everyone can relate with one of the many facades that you've discussed. Life is like that makes you flow through a number of crests and troughs but it does return.
Hey Tuppence, am back! to thank you for voting for my poem in BAT.I am really glad that you liked it :)
