Get a Lfe
Under the shadow
Of your past mistakes, you live
And the way you perceive
Life is itself a deceive
For there is more to life
Than occupying space and time
You think you live life to the fullest
But you are the most clueless
And blindest
Get a life
You pursue happiness
But you don’t see the pass through
Because you must carry it with you
Like a guitar
For happiness cannot be pursued
Like information perused
Or like a child amused
It must ensue
Not like the life
You intend to live up to
Traded by living
Someone else’s opinion of you
Like many times they have told you
You amount to nothing
And even though you are always bluffing
To be bravely bold
You seem like you need to be consoled
For you grumble, get angry
Eat too much, drive too fast
Your life is caught up
Like fish gills in a net
And frankly while others feel the rain
You just get wet
You don’t even know the difference
That is why you have resigned to exist
Instead of living
You don’t know the strategy to exit
Or the quickest escape
While friends tell you that you are in shape
You wish they could strip naked the truth
Or undrape the reality
That you are but a walking corpse
And every day that goes
It gets worse
Get a life
You say marriage
Was your greatest achievement
Because it guaranteed you sex
But even dummies marry
And one of them happens to be your ex
Now what?
You don’t understand
What has brought your marriage to a sweet end?
Or perhaps by moving on
You have begun to understand
And that doesn’t make you under achiever
Get a life
Not a rifle
To end your own life
For your mind is tainted
With to-do lists
Shame you don’t know
Which one you should do first at least?
So, you weaken your thinking
With the drinking
Thinking the stress would go away
But instead, you let stay
Of misery
And so good plans
That you make go astray
Get a life
Someone once said
Aspire to inspire before you retire
And I say
Inquire before you set it on fire
Forget the past and hang out with the yet-to-come
Just like love
Life too is not just a common noun
It is also a verb
And if Mario got one
You should too
So, walk the talk
Get a life
