Our truest life is when we are in our dreams awake. - Henry D. Thoreau

do it don't try

I'm getting strapped like I'm going to blow up
And make sure to do it all before I show up
So I tell you kids to bow down and shut up
And go learn to read so you can grow up
It's a mile of print before you know what
Under the pressure to try and make the cut
Even when your mind can't move from the rut
And the emptiness kills you from deep in your gut
Begin at the end and thenfigure out which way is up
And never think twice until you've landed in the dust
The line between success and failure is thicker than the crust
And every day brings new problems that make you start to rust
Feeling like your head is full and your stomach is sure to bust
And looking for a new lifestyle is nothing less than a must
Who's out there looking out for your back you know that you can trust
And their promises aren't fleeting like faint whispers in a gust
Fixating gazes may seem rooted in wonder and lust
Even if it were, most wouldn't take it as a plus
And they empty shadow scars without making a fuss
Their language dips down and you can they cuss
They abide no law made ignorantly servile made just
