Easier

Faster than you’d know
A written confession
In short, he’s no professional
Working side by side
He stares and sighs
He sighs internally
If a miserable kid
Wants to make his own life harder
Tell him he would be much smarter
By making it easier
If a miserable kid
Loves to dress herself in pity
Tell her that you think she’s pretty
Set an example
If you make it your life’s work
You can do several things
To pass the time, interminable
You can dig your own grave
Build your own gallows
Talk more, think less, sigh more
If a miserable kid
Wants to make his own life harder
Tell him he would be much smarter
By making it easier
If a miserable kid
Loves to dress herself in pity
Tell her that you think she’s witty
Be constructive
The smug, apolitical
, and yet predictable hack
I’d like to settle his hash
Strike up all kinds of poses (The smug, apolitical)
But knows knows that roses are roses (, and yet predictable hack)
If you need approval, I’ll approve your removal
If a miserable kid (uh-huh)
Wants to make his own life harder (then what?)
Tell him he would be much smarter
By making it easier (And, in addition)
If a miserable kid
Loves to dress herself in pity (let her do it?)
Tell her that you think she’s pretty (no, you must fight the temptation to let
her take that road to its logical conclusion)
If a miserable kid
Wants to make his own life harder
Tell him he would be much smarter
By making it easier (he's a Contrary Larry)
If a miserable kid
Loves to dress herself in pity
Tell her that you think she’s witty
