Don't Waste the Pretty

Don't waste the pretty, my friend

Life is for living

Men are like trains....

Don't waste energy chasing after that one

Another one is coming.

A better one.

With seats.

 

Dance the nights away

Not like no-one's watching.

Dance like you deserve an audience.

Tonight, Matthew, I am Gaga.

 

Don't wish away your youth searching for stability,

Mediocrity and banality are nothing to be yearned for.

 

Don't stop moving.

A rolling stone has moss in every corner of the world

A friend on every continent

And a dress in every colour

 

Exploring the world is a means to exploring yourself

So read more books, eat more ice cream and don't waste the pretty.
