Success

Success
by: Tillie Mintz 

People say they want to be successful and go far in life
But really, they don’t know what that includes
They don’t realize how hard it is to be successful
They don’t realize they can’t give up.

People say they want to be the top of their class
But really, they don’t study 
They don’t realize the time they need to put into it
They don’t realize they have to try.

People say they want to go to college and play a Division 1 sport 
But really, they never practice 
They don’t realize they should be practicing everyday 
They don’t realize that they have to work for it.

People say that they want to go far in life 
While most people say this; they don’t mean it 
They don’t push themselves, they don’t want it as much as they say they do 
Yet people want to be so successful.

Success is like a clock that keeps ticking 
You either do it right away 
Or wait for the last second 
But in order to be successful you have to do it the minute you see it.

People can’t give up 
People have to try 
People have to work 
People can’t just hope for success, they have to want it.

The Devil's Juice

This is warning 
A simple prose For those 
That want to sip Upon the devil's piss
 A toxic concoction 
Distilled in pits of hell 
By unstable goblins
 And psycyopathic trolls 
Rumble mintz is the brew 
The man in the shop Said you'll be fine 
Just sip like you would any expensive wine

I woke up beneath a plastic chair
 Somewhere between oblivion and reality 
With bits of stuff stuck to my face 
It feels like I lost the tread 
That the space time continuum Has cease to be 
Is my body plugged into the mains? 
My nerves are on fire 
and I can't control my shaking hands 
My fingers are all bloody and swollen 
Later I am told
 I got into argument With a door 
And that a wardrobe A
and a couch took his side

I am not looking for sympathy 
I just want folks to hear my plea 
Enjoy your whiskey and beer
And no matter what you hear 
Never ever taste that devil juice
