You're doing it wrong

Others’ mistakes

1.Smoke too much and sleep too little,

Dance their song, but never whistle,

How many failures does it take

To know you’re on the wrong track?

2.Too many papers, too few flowers,

Too many days, not enough hours,

Illness comes

And there’s no turning back.

3.Thoughts take over dreams,

Like fancy clothes cover your seams.

How long does it take

To learn from others’ mistakes?
