F**k It

So I say,

F**k being sober

F**k being normal

F**k being depressed

Just be incoherent

Lay at rest

Your own stress

Your world

Your fears

Your enemies

Your friends

Nothing matters

It’s just you

Writing your life

Tormenting your soul

Watching others grow old

Not maturing

Not enduring

Not pursuing

And you’re crying, for what?

Stop being lame

Life isn’t a f*****g game

You get one shot

Not two

Unless someone’s really looking out for you

So I say.

S**t - i might have got it as i was clicking off this page:

is this you commanding yourself re: your writing?

"F**k being normal
F**k being depressed
Just be incoherent
Lay at rest
Your own stress"
and
"Nothing matters
It�s just you
Writing your life
Tormenting your soul".

Maybe not.
*shrug*
F**k it.

Lemme know though if i've been dumb on both counts, yeah?

I like the simplicity and bluntness of this; the rhyming shocked me a little coming from you, but you handle it well, intsead of letting it manhandle you, so that's cool.
Others reviewing seem to have taken this as a call to people to care more...seems to me it's saying care less. Your narrator acknowledges that there's plenty to care about, but then recomends the hedonistic lifestyle - get wasted, do what you want, stop trying to make sense...yet there's also a sense of urging people not to pigeonhole themselves because "You get one shot" at being yourself.
I dunno.
Clever how you let the reader's own brain make the link between the title and the end - it would have cheapened this if you'd said it yourself.

"You get one shot
Not two
Unless someone�s really looking out for you" - stop relying on heaven or the next life to be the Good Time and make this it...or not...whatever you want to do.

Ok. Sound.

Maybe in a perfect world people would wake up one day and say "Hey you know what it really isn't all about me." But you know and I know we don't live in a perfect world. There is a lot of fucked up s**t out there and people should stop bitching about it and actually atempt to do something about it.
I have to agree with your sentiments that people complain too much and don't do enough. They sit around and wait for life to happen while all the while it's passing them by right outside their windows. Get off your a*s and live life, feel some emotions, inflict some pain, physical or otherwise.
Life is what you make it for yourself. The problem with that is, in todays society there are more copies then originals. People don't know how to be themselves so they pick from the screwed up role models they see on the teeny soap operas(OC, Laguna Beach, whatever that s**t is), or maybe it's Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan, either way copying them you only short change yourself. Be who you are and live your own life without complaining that someone has it better then you.
I like the blunness of this piece. It's very opinionated and in your face. You don't find that in may writings(mine included sometimes). You have the very strong raw element in this and that makes it a powerful punch of a piece.

Great.

This is so damn true. People need to quit crying and whining and start living their own lives and grow up and realize this is their one shot and give it the best damn go they can. But its all about the "me" generation and princess so I expect people wont realize it until the world goes to The OC hell.

[Michael Anthony Brown]

I like the directness of it. It's not your typical poetry which is refreshing.

[Edward]

right on. You're very raw and blunt, it's nice. I love how the end makes you want to say f**k it.

[Mia Pow]

I like the way you wrote this! It's not "commercialized poetry" like most but has a good flow. Enjoying the rawness (blountness) of your style and especially the ending referring to the title...lol makes me smile :)
My fav:
"F**k being sober
F**k being normal
F**k being depressed
Just be incoherent
Lay at rest "

[.mate.feed.kill.repeat.]

Hehe great poem. =] Nice flow and rhythm. To say it like my brother, "dude that's the f*****g shiit".

Nice rant. Yes, you have to do what's right for you. That's the truth. That's the story. One ride is all you get, so make it what you want it. Unlike being young where you think in packs, being older means you have to start thinking for yourself. No comfy arms to close you in. Make it count. We're waiting for you to soar. Cheers! Rob
