No Time Like the Present--Cliches Contest
No Time Like The Present (Cliches Contest)
I need to get out of this place!
So very tired of everyone's bromidic rhetoric.
It's sickening...
The continuous chatter of a dramatic existence.
It's sickening...
Who are these people anyways?
Shhhh! I hear my mother whispering some old cliché, so far away,
"There is no time like the present", she says, and she's right again!
I am tired of this malodorous smelling room.
Tired of all the inferior, chintzy plastic furniture in it.
It's sickening...
And all of the neighbors tumultuous affairs.
It's sickening..
To the birds with it all, I'm better than this!
Have confidence in your own ability to overcome adversity.
Be a doer not a hypocrite of your own dreams.
GET UP! GO! LEAVE, YOU NEED TO LEAVE!
It's sickening...
Grease me up for I am wedged in this room.
It's sickening...
Well I am done being a mouse amongst all of these rats!
I'm looking forward and never turning back!
At Last! The motivation that I need!
The door is opening as I walk right through it,
and never look back...
Ecstatic...
Smiling...
Happy...
Goodbye Harvard University!
