"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
They say that art
Mirrors life
And my case
That was true
I decided
To stay with him
When I should
Have chosen you
Somewhere In Madison County
With one
hand
pressed
against
the door
I try
to work
out who
I love
more
And in
that split
second
I decide
to stay
I
throw
my chance
of happiness
away

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future.
Choose life.

I guess I was re-watching
One of those films from my youth
As I was reminded
That for romance now
I am too long in the tooth
It’s Way More Than 10…
It’s the little things
That I hate
And the big things too
In fact there isn’t anything
That I actually like about you

‘… I have of late—but wherefore I know not—lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises, and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air—look you, this brave o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire—why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors. What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world. The paragon of animals. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me. No, nor woman neither…’

To listen to the speeches…’
If my
life
was a
movie
And
I got
to
choose
I
don’t
know
which
actress
I’d
pick
But
I wouldn’t
be a
beauty
The
nice
guy
I would
lose
And
I’d
end up
marrying
the
prick
With one
hand
pressed
against
the door
I try
to work
out who
I love
more
And in
that split
second
I decide
to stay
I throw
my one
chance at
happiness
away
There’s no such
thing as happily
ever afterThere is only
heartbreak
and disasterWhat you see
in their films
is all a lieFor life’s a
bitch and
then you die
