You need to start doing things.
Look at everything you have,
Everything you were given,
And realize you've done nothing.

You were given this handsome face,
And you close yourself off from others.

You were given a healthy body,
And you refuse to take proper care of it.

You were given a brain capable of immense thought,
And you just smoke **** and complain.

You were given a rare knack for writing,
And you never apply it to anything.

You were given an extraordinary ability to learn,
And you stopped trying.

You were given a chance at higher education,
And your choice will lead to disappointment.

You were given so much chance to succeed in life,
And you're letting your personality get in the way.

This is an intervention.
You need to change your ways,
Or you'll end up just like everyone else.
