This is your life?

Question

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else
We are all part of the same compost heap
We are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world

You are not your bank account
You are not the clothes you wear
You are not the contents of your wallet
You are not your bowel cancer
You are not your grand latte
You are not the car you drive
You are not your f*cking khakis

You have to give up
You have to give up
You have to realise that someday you will die
Until you know that, you are useless.

I say let me be never complete
I say may I never be content
I say deliver me from Swedish furniture
I say deliver me from clever art
I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth
I say you have to give up
I say evolve and let the chips fall where they may

This is your life
Doesn't get any better than this
This is your life
And its ending one minute at a time

Welcome to fight club.

Answer 1

Live life to the fullest....

Answer 2

This is your life? Maybe, but I hope not, and somehow I doubt it.

This is my life? Sometimes, but not often, not really.

I say let me never be finished.
I say may I never be self-satisfied.
I say deliver me from shoes that fit too tight and other people's ideas that pin me down.
I say deliver me from loud music and motorcycles.
I say deliver me from thinking I have to look like a model in a Sears & Roebuck catalog or Brad Pitt in the altogether or Michael Jordan doing a slam dunk.
I say you don't have to give up unless you give up.
I say grow and let each day be another day.
I say what I say and mean what I say,
except when I say something I didn't mean to say.

You have to get up.
You have to come back down.
You have to realize that every day you live --
if you live every day.

This is my life
Some days are better than others
but they all have their moments.
This is my life
And it's opening up wider and wider the older I am,
the narrower life seems.

This is my life,
and it doesn't get any better than this.

There's a divinity that shapes our ends
Rough-hew them how we will.

Good night, sweet prince.

Welcome to infinity.

Answer 3

Thank Goodness that I am not my banking account, nor the clothes I wear, nor the contents of my wallet, nor anything else materialistic.
But this is my Life and I am doing the best I can with what I have.
I have known since the death of my Mother, what death meant, but I am not willing not to give this Life, my best shot!
My Life has gotten much better in the past several years, because I have learned what's valuable and what's not.
I am not afraid of Death, My fear is becoming old and helpless.
Thank You.

Answer 4

I really like this although I hasten to add that it describes reality for someone older. I wonder how old you are; if you're under 30, and if this is you, I feel sad for you. This generally is for those of us who have been around a while. I really personally like it though. I really wish to be delivered from Swedish furniture and blindingly white teeth and people who have identified wholly with their "things": I AM the latte from Starbucks...

Answer 5

Good poem .Is it yours own writing than i would give you 10 marks for the poem.Life is as beautiful and could be made more beautiful by genuine efforts in trying and improving life of other unfortunate people and derive joy from others happiness it is than the world would be a heavan .It is likely it would be a dream as far as man is greedy and angry.

Answer 6

If you don't stop thinking this way,you will soon be on Trazodone or Doxepin or Roxicet or at least Xanax.
The glass is maybe not half empty,but half full?...
Try to think that every new day is the beginning of the rest of your life,and not a beginning of an end!

Answer 7

I hope you're not always so depressing. Anything you think about you give energy to and it sounds like maybe your life sucks because you're stuck in "suck" mode. Try being more positive. You just might find that life can and does get better. Good Luck to you :o}

P.S. Other than it being so depressing, I really like your writing style.

Answer 8

Answer 9

esteem you must have
the power of the dark side I feel in you,
life mine this is not
it should not be yours
my young padawan

Join the club of fight if you must
but fight you should not.
or all lost you have fought for will be gone.

Answer 10

This is your life. Make the best of it. There are things to enjoy. And it is going to get better; you're going to another great journey.

Answer 11

"The Fight Club", the most intelligent film I have seen in years.
Certainly a wake up call.
