Pity and Curiousity

Pity to me will perturb and disturb 
What you should do with it is to curb
While much envy will highly invigorate 
Create curiosity which can hardly wait.

Without relaxation, love or at least fun
Sooner your life one day will be done 
Become unstable and mad without knowing 
Develop ADD and forget where you are going.

So do be nobly bold while breaking out
Having half the evils along with some doubt 
Find a friend with to share your fear
Cowardly listlessness no longer is near.
