Unshut Up
Shut up mouth, I'll keep you for eating,
but that's it.
I keep my heart for speaking, so speak.
Tell them how your mind wanders and you waver.
We suffer for our work,
we are the master and the slave.
You realized the other day you're a student of character
without becoming a character.
You think about life without living life.
That's backwards commitment.
Are you living Act I
or are you mumbling behind the curtains.
Get your act together.
Though you suck at life,
we both know you're gonna do it anyway.
It's too important not to try.
