What makes me tick?  What doesn't!

traffic
my boss
when fast food places get my order wrong
being stood up
being let down,
bad movies with misleading reviews
laziness
littering
the blame game
pimples
police brutality
cheaters
racism
hypocrite
breaking a freshly-polished nail
when my alarm clock goes off on the weekend
morning classes
war
burnt toast
when I feel like I have something in my eye but can't find it
no cell phone signal
gas prices
bullying

But what really make me tick, what boils my blood the most
Are those selfish people who can't deal with the bullshit
It's the people who turn to drugs to numb the pain 
or worse, suicide, so they never have to be bothered again
the one's who break the hearts of their mothers and fathers
they break my heart
they piss me off
they leave too soon
even the ones who remain stay here an empty shell
they are just a shadow of who they used to be
and for what? because life is hard?
it's hard but it's worth it
please see that it's worth it
