All of your life people will tell you to just go with the flow, handle things as they come to you and don't fight back what's given to you. But **** that. Go against everything you were taught. Don't wait for things to happen, make them happen. Resist the current and swim straight upstream. The opposite way of the abyss of bland faces. Cause a ruckus and mess things up. Love recklessly and live wildly. Never go with the flow. Create a beautiful world and turn it upside down. Pick up the pieces, only to throw them down again. Get off the floor and make things happen. Live your life with adrenaline and an untamable spirit. And I promise you, you will be happy.
My new favorite poet is a fifteen year old girl.
Margaret is clever it's astounding.
I knew youth was coming like this but usually when I saw it up close they we're just these maniacal computer wiz kids but this girl seems to party.
I hope she meets Alex Turner someday.
I hope she meets Andrew VanWyngarden too.
I don't know why, but I guess it's because they're dashing and she deserves the best.
I hope the world don't tangle her up too much and don't sit on her like a fat bully.
I know she can dodge it though and we need her and her vision of peace like a checkpoint.

Shine on Margaret, light up the world.
I was going to write a poem
telling how beautiful you are.
but it would be an injustice to the world's self-esteem
to immortalize such concepts.

So do yourself a favor;
Tell me what you want me to do, and
tell me what you think about me, and
act like I heard you, and actually care.
Your opinion, is yours to keep.
My life is mine to live.
Your opinion; not fact.
Usually obvious.
Cowardly
Hidden
Scared
Weak
Talk is
Cheap

Why
Must you
LIE
