Things to remember


Do not be sad and become a common American fad.

Live strong and strive to do no wrong.

So long to my pessimistic peers,

you can all be strung along

And forced to believe in societies twisted view on you.

Instead I will live my life free from this.

My list of regrets will shorten;

but I will still be important.

I don't care if you or society will not accept me.

I've already wept enough for two lifetimes.

Life will step on you,

It's your job to move.
