like a country and western song
the world's tough love
is hangovers and heartache
both making you feel like shit
from which you learn
and bounce back
or you don't
you can hate the booze
for fear of what it might make you do
and its trade-off of
the pleasure of now
in equal measure to the misery
of later
since
of course
like anything else
like playing with fire
you're gonna get burned
but there's at least two things to learn:
fire's bad
or you gotta be careful with fire
that it's not for play
like booze
like love
so don't hate 'em
just learn to be careful
and try to learn
from the lessons they're trying to teach
and let the world's tough love
be the love you give yourself
carefully
sometimes
or don't
trade it in for the gospel if you like
or whatever else floats your boat
but mine floats on beer sometimes
and love
and lust
in the flesh
not anywhere else
