Bad Directions

Go ahead and keep on doing nothingif it suits you so, don’t let it go a daywithout reminding you of everything.I don’t care about the rules becausethere are none and there never were.Standards are the insecurities of someoneolder or the archetype of them in youmaking you feel just how they doin their silence.
