Hit ’em hard and fast,
or forgive and forget.
Grudges tend to fester.
Hold your head up high
unless the doorways are low.
There’s no pain like shame.
Question the steps ahead
unless you’re dancing.
Then just dance, dance, dance.
Do as I say, not as I do, but
always doubt what you’re told.
Confusing, I know. You’ll get it.
Suffer, rise, repeat. Simple as that.
But suffering is never simple.
Better yet: Suffer, bear, continue.
