I just want to throw in the sack, don’t want to get back on track, flap jack, slap it on up and saddle on sick of this race, since long ago my lethargy has shifted to let-it-go, go with the flow, don’t let things get to you that much coz thoughts shift at such a rush, every updated status makes you so outdated, Oh wait, you’re here? We’re glad you made it, and no time to let this all soak in, off we go on another whim, are you worried what you’re saying? It’s all right, just fake it, are you getting nervous? Imagine the audience naked, and if you can't smoke it, bake it, just to take it, anyway you can, because people clang, clang, clang on and everyone’s right nobody's wrong, Everyone’s dressed in hard-ons running along for their next **** kind of makes me thank God when the electricity cuts, because for at least two seconds everything stops. And we breathe, and look around, and wonder, how’d I get here in the first place? But not first place, we popped out and joined the rat race, and it takes a while to figure out how to move at our own pace. Hard not to get caught up in the glitz and glamour of it all, in the identities and stereotypes we can perform, they said we could be anyone we wanted to be, and somehow it's to my benefit that I should be me? You see, it wasn’t always like that. For a long time this forum didn’t exist, (and still doesn’t for a list of your neighbors.) Do them a favor, recognize. Stop criti-size-ing what we don’t know, so much easier to sit in the back puffing on homegrown, so much easier to point fingers and scream “I told you so!” Yes, we know. But even if you do the world carries on. Stay calm, It waits for no one. Who knows? Maybe someday your bones will be what life is made of.

F.O.M.O.
