SO I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT MY LIFE LATELY. HAD SOME DAMN GOOD TIMES, AND RECENTLY SOME FUCKING AWFUL TIMES. ALL IN ALL THOUGH I'M PROUD OF BEING ME. I'VE SEEN AND DONE THINGS OTHERS ONLY DREAM ABOUT, AND PROUD OF THE FACT THAT I HAVE GOTTEN TO DO ALL OF THE THINGS IN MY LIFE. GOOD OR BAD ALL OF THEM HAVE MADE ME THE PERSON THAT I AM. SOME THINK OF ME AS AN ASSHOLE, OTHERS THINK I'M A DECENT PERSON, WHERE THEY GOT THAT IDEA FROM I WILL NEVER KNOW. ALL I KNOW IS I'M HAPPY, LONELY AT TIMES, YES, BUT DAMN IT I'M AM HAVING A BLAST. I READ MY BOOKS, WATCH MY MOVIES, THINK MY THOUGHTS AND ALL TOGATHER JUST ENJOY DOING WHATEVER. YOU MIGTH ASK WHY I AM WRITING THIS, WELL I ENDED UP READING MY FAVORITE POEM AGAIN, AND IN READING IT I THOUGH FUCK YEAH. I'M NOT GOING OUT WEAK!! I'M GOING TO HAVE THE BEST FUCKING TIME I CAN, WHEN I CAN. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE PEOM, IT'S POSTED BELOW. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU READ IT, AND APPLY IT TO YOUR LIFE. PEACE OUT AND SHIT FOR NOW.-BILL.
How Did You Die?
1Did you tackle that trouble that came your way
2 With a resolute heart and cheerful?
3Or hide your face from the light of day
4 With a craven soul and fearful?
5Oh, a trouble's a ton, or a trouble's an ounce,
6 Or a trouble is what you make it,
7And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts,
8 But only how did you take it?
9You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that?
10 Come up with a smiling face.
11It's nothing against you to fall down flat,
12 But to lie there -- that's disgrace.
13The harder you're thrown, why the higher you bounce;
14 Be proud of your blackened eye!
15It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts,
16 It's how did you fight -- and why?
17And though you be done to the death, what then?
18 If you battled the best you could,
19If you played your part in the world of men,
20 Why, the Critic will call it good.
21Death comes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce,
22 And whether he's slow or spry,
23It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts,
24 But only how did you die?
