Cynical Conclusions of Young and Old

by Amanda Sloan   Feb 7, 2004


People! Why so pessimistic ?
(You for some reason want to hate everything)
Always saying how he hates you
(hmm.. try asking yourself... What the hell did you do. Man your quick!)
how she hurt you
(and you don't deserve this how?)
i have a broken heart and its all because of you
(You didn't say what your mind told you to!)
i wish we could have what we could've had
(Obviously you could have made it that but you didn't. now we're thinking!)
I wish we were back together
(TELL THEM AND STOP COMPLAINING)
i wish she was my friend
(pick up the phone and call)
i wish he loved me still
(tell him what your thinking.Smart one)
This is the worst thing that could ever happen to me~!!!!!
(and you'll be saying that about something else in a week)
My world sucks
(yea and your sitting on your butt makin it suck more, good job!)
You smashed my soul
( and who made it smash able?)
I wish things were the same
( just a little hint there's not one day thats the same as the one before it.) I wish i would have said that to them
(THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU!!!!!)
Stop with the wishes, stop with the regrets, stop saying your world sucks, stop complaining how things aren't the same, stop whining about how you want them back, and how your heart is broken and how you got stabbed in the back, don't say you wish it would have happened, if you had done something you wouldn't have to say that. Stop stopping things as their happening. Don't wish that things were what they used to be, because if things weren't what they were now, later wouldn't be what its going to be, and you don't know what its going to be so don't complain when you've got nothing left to complain about. Such pessimism in every word, even the mouths of babes proclaim. I know its been said a thousand times and in many different variations. Obviously hearing it a thousand times hasn't changed anything, so it'll be said a thousand and one. It probably wont change but its worth the effort (i don't want to regret not doing it!!!)
Maybe you'll take this advice actually do something with it, not just stick it in your back pocket to rot ( what an idea!)
If you don't, you'll be right back where you were, regretting, and wishing, and saying i wish i would have done that then, so that now could be what it could have been if i had only done...and later would be better because of it
Get it yet?
