Missing the Mark

There are no other words for missing the mark except, "f----." Everybody spends their whole lives trying to hit the mark so they can sit in a placd that sustains and entertains. But for the outsiders who missed the mark there are no words except, "f---". Wisdom isn't freely given to age except when lessons learned trump experiences. After breakups, hearts only bleed if you isolate. Time doesnt heal everything. Money buys some peoples happiness. Sex solves arguments. A cat sleeping on your chest cuts more anxiety than Ativan. Don't follow your heart. Get lost in the woods. When you wake up, blast music and stay moving. When you feel inspired, put everything else aside. ....... And if you miss the mark, f---. You've got a life to live anyway.
