untitled draft 5.5

smile until they forget you
give good advice
say something that sells
listen
nod a bit, sip a drink
find illumination - not today
pretend there's no walls closing around your head
make a witty remark now and then
you're so smart
don't die
not yet
not while everyone's looking
laugh of their stupid jokes
say you're sorry even if you don't care
(they'll do the same)
breathe
catch a star
ignore the squid grabbing your ankles
forget you're drowning
say you miss them
don't ever see them again
sing like a child staring at a wall
don't die - not yet
it's not worth the effort
it's not like anything's gonna change
you should find a job sometime
find a love sometime
find a hobby
get a life
since you don't have any
