This is flawed, just because I think it's sort of disjointed, but there are some sentiments in it that I still like. (And I'm not nearly as angry or bitter anymore, as this piece might reflect). 7:15 AM, you may find me in the kitchen, wearing nothing but my post-shower towel- preparing myself to greet the grey day with a bleary-eyed, coffee-stained smile. Or you may find me, greased out of my head, Still awake from the day before. But I'd rather be me, rather than an aging man Who sits around coffee shops, on any old day, still talking about the conspiracy theory, trying to get in hip with the young intellectuals; giving his self-inspired American loyalty test to any poor sap who's stuck listening to him. And I'd rather be me than the reporters and journalists who don't give a fuck about the news- working at a job they don't want to do, just like most of the rest of the unhappy world. And I'd rather be me than any of my ancestors, Who weren't very healthy And faced the rest of their lives With not very long to live. And I'd rather be me than anyone I've ever learned was 'famous'- People, and their names, should not live in infamy but rather their Ideas should. And I'd rather be me than you, Because then I wouldn't be able to tell the rest of the world how wonderful you are. I'm just a mostly lonely soul, trying to stay happy. And in this society of Anti-happiness Sometimes that is a chore.
Oh MY GOD!!!! Who are you? Where did you come from? You just made me cry and I really hate crying,,,you just hit a nerve, I didn`t think I still had. This can be good and it can be bad. Right now I just don`t know!!!!
lol that is an amazing piece. i didnt cry, but it did give me shivers And I'd rather be me than you, Because then I wouldn't be able to tell the rest of the world how wonderful you are.
That is quite beautiful, I enjoyed it very much. It describes everyday life for most of the world perfectly.
