What do you do when life gives you lemons?
Do you make lemonade?
And proceed to drink it?
Realize you didn’t put enough sugar in it?
So it puckers your cheeks and you conclude you messed up?
OR
Do you take out a Sharpie
Write something you fear on it
Something that embarasses you
Distant memory you wish to forget
Something you hate
Something you can never have
Something that tears you apart
Inside
And out
And grab that lemon
And say *******, life
And throw it
Watch it smash
Watch the sour explode everywhere
And walk away
******* up
And buy lemonade that tastes right
Because you deserve it
