one hundred sixty two

a ditty on choices...
you pretend to be so stuck and helpless,
yet are making decisions EVERY single day.
maybe you don't want to be making them, but the fact is that you are making them.
don't complain about the consequences because it was your direct choices that caused them.
don't make excuses for a life that you are choosing to do nothing with.
only you can choose to change that.
it's called amibition.
try it sometime.
don't say you don't know how to fix this.
we all know you've been given the tools but are just choosing not to implement them.
don't call and brag about how sick you are under the guise of undesired medical attention.
what's with the games?
don't fish for attention and pity.
it gets old.
don't choose a lifestyle according to the approval of others.
its completely fake.
don't blame your lack of company on the fact that others have moved past wanting to sulk at home every weekend.
if you have no desire to change, there's nothing we can do so we might as well spend our time on something more productive.
let us know if one day you change your mind-
for real this time.
don't assume things that you won't take the time to question and allow that assumption to be the basis of your pushing people away.
if you are going to use us as an excuse for your own lack of motivation,
don't be surprised when it gets back to us.
way to be judgemental.
thanks.
i'll be honest, it hurts.
but ps, you're wrong.
don't once again twist the truth into a personal pity party.
it's not an excuse to act out self destruction and blame it on others.
life is hard.
its supposed to be.
don't whine about how its so much harder for you than anyone else,
because i don't buy it.
not even for a second.
there's a time and place to run and hide.
you have far passed that point.
its time to be truly accountable for once.
and its time to grow up.

savannah,
this was in no way directed to you!!! it was simply directed. i've been thinking and struggling and questioning and got kind of set off today and this was the result. i didn't quite know how people would take it, but in the end i figured it needed to be said. so i clicked "post." anyway, i'm glad you liked it. ciao.
