"Bringing it back"

Just random, but gotta keep writing, to stay on point and not get lazy.

I'm bringing it back.
I'm bringing it back to tomorrow.
Because today...ain't happening quick enough.
And my time...is short.
Once we reach a certain age, we are all slowly dying.
So I have to make up for lost funerals.
I'm going to take hatchets to frowns, twist them upside down, and squeeze them into hour glasses.
Because from now on, my time...it's gonna be spent smiling.
Life is too short to worry about stuff like immature boys and girls.
Players and w****s.
Biased judges and obviously screwed up slam scores.
Life is too short to think about making it big...and taking time off because you fell so hard when you realized big was a little too tall.
Bills, and mortgages.
Friends and enemies.
Happy or sad.
Mom...or dad.
Stop choosing.
Just live, because I'm telling you...16 years old and I already know how to have sex.
16, and I can cause fires.
16 and I know how to hate myself.
16 and I know how to kill myself.
I'm 16, and my life is already being wasted learning s*** that I don't need right now.
Some s*** I won't ever need.
Our society is bleeding over our heads.
And we are worried about who's gonna clean it up, instead of how to fix it.
People, we are zombies.
We walk mindlessly, watch TV mindlessly, communicate mindlessly.
Our general want for progression as human beings is gone, we ARE the living dead.
God, save our empty souls.
We are drifting, like broken homes.
And hearts that sound a little too much like rust.
When did it become acceptable to just coast by.
There's a quote that sooo many people love.
Maybe it's just because I'm a poet...but here's my rendition.
Ignorance is bliss, f**k that.
Learn, learn how to be happy with life.
Happy with yourselves.
Everyone has always seen me as miserable my entire life.
But this is the face of at peace.
My wrists hang lose, I never learned how to raise a fist.
My back is dirty, because where some people don't like to fall, I like to think that laying in dirt puts the clean in your life into perspective.
It's perception.
I don't see the silver lining in things.
I sit at home stitching golden life stories into them.
There's always a pot of gold at the end of rainbows, and I'm still poor.
Oh, I've walked, but I never reach the end because I like to walk back and forth.
I never get over the first 15 feet of beauty.
I let doves back stroke through my fingertips, because I don't like to grasp love, I like to let it dangle just out of reach...because you never like something as much when you have it as you did when you wanted it.
I'll keep searching.
For something a little closer than tomorrow, but a little farther than now.
Because I'm stuck on replay.
A monotonous repetition of concepts.
Ideas shaped like frowns, hanging from the inner walls of my mind.
Conversing with the voices in my head.
I don't know what the hell they're talking about, but it's getting old.
Time to renovate.
People, when will you learn, that our life, is so much more than drowsy day to day aspects.
People always want to know the meaning of life...it's living.
The meaning of life is to live.
And forgive me for being old school, but I like just not caring.
Not caring about how people look at me as I drift.
Money means nothing.
Jobs, mean nothing.
TV, entertainment, means nothing.
Items, mean nothing.
Opinions, which are no more than elaborated ignorant thoughts, mean nothing.
Here, and now, where we stand the only thing that matters is love.
True love.
And acts of human beings, not people.
So please, join me, stop being regular people, and join, the human race.
