EAT CAKE CHIC
let me give you some advice, honey, on the house
YOLO, you know, you’re only as strong as the drinks you mix,
the tables you dance on and the friends you party with.
live for the nights you’ll never remember with the friends
you’ll never forget, Live, Laugh, Love!
you’ll find love when you stop looking.
you have to look through the rain to see the rainbow.
you can tell I know, from this wind-tousled city light view,
how hard an ordinary face is
and an ordinary life and how unbearable
when the selfie needs a filter
and the floor’s not instagrammable
which is why I’m here! to show you the wise secrets
of any valedictorian or life coach with a cocktail rooftop pool
so shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you’ll land
among the stars or the stones and structures somewhere below
the lights dazzle my eyes and I’m perfectly picturesque
so just keep calm and carry on like I do
I can see everyone’s hours from up here
and to me they look the same
Great job of conveying world-weary wisdom ala advice, to…?
Very different readings of this every time I re-read this. Well done.
