Question

When it first dawns on you

However taxing it may feel

A little shot of encouragement

Take it from me, t'will help you deal

Where all is safe and sound

Comfort I afford, complete

Shouldn't have to spill the beans

For I know you can take the heat

But otherwise, if all else fails

You might comically have it to face

So you 'd better get a grip cause

My name, it's time that you place

A tootsie pop?

no, though the title might be helpful here. if not should make sense afterwards, anyway.

Magic forces black and white,

Reaching out through space and light,

Be he far or be he near

Bring the demon Riddler here.

ah, thus summonned I should be compelled to say yes. but no. rereading it I see a pretty good fit. totally unintended.

WAI stands for What am I. I added that as a subtitle because I often do more Play on Words (PoW) where you might manipulate the word answer itself.

hi, pg, i finally understand the capital "W" in your title :D

a pep pill or some drug?

hey LJ - not that or those but good guesses. and yeah, have had that one title and was never terribly satisfied with it. always seemed a little gruff or even arrogant. both of which are totally unintended. wanted to somehow include the POW/Play on words cause that's what I do and that was the best I could come up with. not so recognizable, eh? that's not so good.

a hangover?

.

ouch, a most excellent answer. starting to think I should say yes and go on. guess I cant tho. definitely deserves a hint - this is a tangible thing.

The pot calling the kettle black.

Potshot, smoking pot makes for some funny faces, you cook beans in a pot, over heat, get a good grip when you move said pot o beans...

A 'sucker punch' is also known as a potshot.

ahhh, a little wake and bake perhaps? perfectly logic and nice explanations but not it.

okay, this seems to be my bad so need to say the answer is not the "it" as described but the "I". think this mostly stems from putting in one too many "it" to make the "story" better.
