Be AdvisedA Poem by TrayceAdvice is infinitely easier to give than to live by. Just do it God Damnit!
Take up heart young man,
The world still turns Pain still hurts the way fire still burns Everything is spinning... Or is that just the poison talking. Stars are still farther away than you will ever reach Rather to better appreciate the world beneath your feet. Be here now, Open your eyes and see The waves of music in which we sink Many have anchors on their ankles Tasting salt and steel Some with balloons in their heads Some with hearts as fragile as false reality The only sure thing is uncertainty Put all your money on that, There are no safe bets. The only guaranteed profession is mortician Never trust a priest or a politician, Two or more faces are too many One person is difficult enough to deal with. People will love you more if you are happy The only beings attracted to misery Are vultures and the inhuman homo sapien Cruelty is the only unforgivable infraction If you have to scream it. You will regret releasing it like a demon or serial killer. That pet alligator will grow to enormous proportions. Some problems snowball. Avoid anyones downward spiral The vortex can drag you in like cement shoes Black holes are mysterious for a reason Stay away from crazy people Stay as close to madness as possible without anyone knowing Don't stay in one place too long Relax... breathe... breakdance. Kiss the girl F**k the world, consensually. Don't let gravity keep you down. Seriously, don't be so serious. Sometimes you will fall apart, But you can always blame it on entropy. Freak out, only when absolutely necessary Calm down, only when absolutely necessary Repeat yourself, only to check out the echo. Brush your damn teeth! Spit in depressions face Raise your middle finger like a ships mighty mast in the face of a tempest. Keep full sail! Chart a course over the edge of the world. If you are to disappear, at least it will be into legend I can think of no better suicide mission Than living life like a one way ticket A trip to another planet without the fuel for the return voyage Letting people play hackey sack with your heart Will harden it over time, but also leave it tenderized No one likes a quitter No one loves an addict No one tries too hard ever. Risk is an unavoidable fact of living and dying Not every decision will be right. You are going to mess up, It is going to hurt I'm not going to lie, But, If you ever feel vulnerable, Pretend there is a knife between your teeth Forcing you to smile.
