MY OWN ADVICE



So your life is an origami puppet.
Shut the fuck up and deal.
Fall
No more teeter
Totter
Pick a fucking side and fall.
Where are your guts?
I thought you were fearless.
Fuck you.
Coward.
Fuck you!
You sacrifice serenity 
For righteousness.
Happiness for honor.
Well who asked you 
For your blood?
Nobody. 
Don’t open a vein
And expect sympathy.
YOU made the cut.
You now have the choice 
To lie there and bleed, 
Or patch the damage done
And get on with it.
You can only bleed so much
Before revival is no longer possible.
Bandaged wounds 
Though they leave scars
Do heal.
