Tough Love's Tough

So many of us live with the lame attempt
at re-living our pasts.
It's a broken attempt
at avoiding the future.
A futile attempt
at avoiding attention to the present.

I can't be the only one sick
of seeing adults act like children.

Take your nostalgia goggles off…
Get off the couch.
Grow up…
Get a job.

Something, or anything to break
the state of mind holding you here.

I know it's attempt to fill some emptiness,
but the past lies, twenty years gone.

Dwelling so long only makes the void greater.
