your rectitude buddy

I don't wish to importune you over
your rectitude, buddy
but the fact is
as the wrestler's dad
in The Breakfast Club put it,
your intensity is for shit. Quit
casting about for a rag
of excuse! Figure out
what you know you've got to do
and try it. If it doesn't work,
try it some more. Expecting
the same result is insane
if you keep doing the same thing
getting better with practice. Eventually
comes either breakthrough or epiphany,
and we don't give a shit which. Frankly,
that's on you. Own the consequence. It's
your life. Quit taking advice from followers
and lead with your heart and head
on board! And not squabbling, either.
One day trust me, you'll wake up
look back on how far and ask yourself
"How long has it been since
I was bored?" Forthright, clear-eyed
and straightforward.
