Don Mann: Focusing on my Craft

Sunday, Oct. 26, 2003 - 1:48 a.m.

Stop threatening me with suicide

If you wanted to die you'd be dead already

Stop preaching to me about your misery

If you were so miserable we could probably relate somehow

Stop wearing your tears like badges of honor

And stop creating new ones to pin on yourself

Make the most out of the gift of life

You'll be missing it when it's gone

~~~~

I wish just for once that the people in this world would break free of their delusions and self-imposed misery. I wish people would take advantage of happiness that's just waiting to be tapped into, good things that are around every corner that are begging to be discovered. If this were all true, the truly miserable and truly sad individuals would get the attention they deserved, and the overdramatic would not exist at all.

~~~

Remember when it wasn't cool to cry?

Remember when it wasn't hip to want to die?

Remember when the world was a place of infinite opportunity?

Remember when we didn't suffer at the yoke of self-imposed misery?

I remember when the best man was the happiest man.

I remember when we could take this life and mold it in our hands.

I remember when there was no thought of love in this head of mine.

I remember without such thoughts I was feeling fine.

Ignorance is bliss, Knowledge is pain.
