Fuck you

I have one life, one only.

I will not spend it wisely.

For I am not wise, but curious.

I will not give it all I've got.

For I have only so much for the taking.

I will hold back something.

For I want at least my virtues intact, alive.

I will waste precious moments.

For I will never let an opportunity displace my dreams.

I will have greed where I need heart.

For I will feed myself first, I can only feel enough pain for one.

I will bleed when I should triumph.

I have blood, not courage.

How human you are. And you say you are not wise; you are wise enough to describe the normal human condition. Thank you.
