"make the most of what you have"

Don't you just hate it when people say that to
YOU
Think about it
What exactly are they saying about
YOU
Hey babe you’ve got an ugly face
Soooooo
you better show off those big boobs
Or
When they were handing out brains God forgot about you
Sooooooooooo
You better just hold on to your miserable job
Or
Your husband can’t keep his d*** in his pants, but
YOU
Will never find someone to replace
That which you’re better off losing
Soooooo
You might as well be nice, kiss his ass and stick with
HIM

F**** THAT
What a load of crap
Dung so deep
So fossilized
You could toss it like a Frisbee

If what you think you want isn't wanting you back
What exactly is your reason for wanting it?

Oh I know, some pinhead told you to
“make the most of what you got”
Soooooooooo
Now you think this is all you deserve
Seems to me that's how women get
THEIR
Faces bashed in by some beer guzzling testoserone pumping
LOSER

Look, this is how it works:

If you don't have what you want
RUN
As fast as you can away from that
Machete your way through this crazy jungle
And dump that sorry ass life
Every new step is
NEW
DIFFERENT
UNIQUE
UNKNOWN
If just thinking about it makes your heart beat
Faster, faster, FASTER
Then guess what?

YOU
ARE
ALIVE

I'd like to thank Josephine M Wooten for allowing me to borrow the line "make the most of what you have" from her poem titled "Wane So"...thanks josie
