Don't count the days

Because as soon as you do

The grass is gray

The sky is pale

The world speeds up

And you'll find yourself

In a continuous pattern

A life of filth

Don't divide your love

When you can multiply it

When you can spread it

When you can be full of it

When you can find the good

And rid of the bad

Don't stare at the ceiling

And look at the chipped paint

Stare at the sky

And forget the time, place and date

Don't complain about what you don't have

Savor everything that you do

Remember that the things

You don't realize

Might be the things

Most important to you

Don't just throw the words

More than just ink on paper

Don't through away what you have

For what you think is better

(Because you truly know it isn't)

Don't try to blend in

Try to stand out

Don't just sit there

Staring at the screen

Get yourself out

Let your real self shout
