A second attempt at "Give It 100!" , since the first one ("100" ) turned out pretty well even though I didn't complete it within 100 days.
These are just rough sketches and ideas that are barely a little more rounded-out...they're not perfect but they're gonna be good enough to share here at least. Your comments, support, and words of encouragement will be greatly appreciated!
Ooh, I feel like this is full of potential, but somehow unfinished. I really like the first half, up to 'with an all-knowing smirk'. After that it loses me a little I think.
You know damn well there's always a but.
Yet you act like it isn't coming, or
more like you don't exist in its
over-exploding galaxy of WTFs.
I see you over there, pretending like
you're the kid the divorced dad
forgot to pick up on the holiday
and trying to play it off as if
it's nothin'. No. You're the but.
The stink at the end of the favor.
The lament lingering beneath the breath
of praise. And the longer you try
to bottle 'em up, and pack more
and more of them buts in where
they never fit into in the first place,
you won't be able to get yourself out
from underneath them all. And
don't you even try to tell me otherwise;
I only speak from a position
of knowledge...I've heard
every but you can imagine. Because
I was once a but, just like you...
and this is now the thanks I get.
