Plagarism is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

heychris is amazing.

here is heychris' amazing poem from his amazing website of amazingness.

"just this once, be my savior."
you are not good enough.
yes you.
somewhere along the line you were taught lazy.
and god doesnt like lazy.
lazy is making the "scene".
lazy is easy and smooth.
lazy is fitting the pose.
lazy is staying docile.
lazy is mininum effort.
lazy is coloring inside the lines.
lazy is not picking up the torch.
lazy is loveless relationships.
lazy is being a coward.
lazy is fat.uneducated.
selfish.
despondent.
lazy is the inability to express love.
lazy is blaming everyone and taking none of the accountability.
it is irresponsible.
unchallenged.
unmotivated and afraid.
lazy is unworthy.
and you.
me.
in all of our self-important grandstanding are looking for nothing more than attention grabbing validation.
if i tell you you're amazing, if i tell you you're inspirational, will you take it to heart?
will you buy into my insignificant words?
and will you let them encircle your eyes with the cloud of bullshit approval.
none of us need approval.
not me.
not you.
fuck if it doesnt feel good, but fuck if you cant do better.
and i know this.
and god knows this.
and we see you.
and somewhere further down the line our parents told us we were good enough.
to take pride in ourselves.
that we only needed to be us.
thats it.
and that would be good enough.
bullshit.
thats not good enough.
just being yourself isnt good enough.
because you and i werent born good enough.
its not good enough to simply have strength of character.
its our responsibility to show others how.
if we arent consciously making a difference then you, my friends are a waste of potential.
and god hates wasted potential.
disagree.
dont hear.
listen.
know your opposition.
make an attempt to understand.
take a stand.
use your fucking voice.
raise your fucking hand.
but do something goddammit.
because you are NOT unique and wonderful snowflakes.
unless you want to believe there are six billion unique and wonderful individuals on this planet...
you. are. living. a. lie.
as i am.
but everyday i make a promise to myself to be a little less shitty than the day before.
i know my role and i wont lie to myself anymore.
i am evil, rotten, dirty, disposable, forgettable and guilty.
just.
like.
you.
but ill be damned if i let that stop me.
i will not use that as an excuse and i will take responsibility for each and every move i make.
because as long as i have a voice, a will and a heart, i will try.
despite your words of praise or criticism...
i know im capable of much more.
and i owe you better.
and today, tomorrow and for the rest of my life i will be a walking apology to you, my friends, my mom and the rest of this world.
because god hates wasted potential.
and i am not good enough.
but im trying.
goddammit im trying.
