Inspired by a film... led by a feeling

clap so loudly, smash your hands together so much they start to hurt
give yourself the bruises so on a random afternoon you remember having the feeling you have now
tell them how brilliant they are, scream it from the bottom of your stomach, rip the lungs as you breathe in deep trying not to pass out
ignore the sore throat that chokes you, that cuts as you swallow
the skin feels tight around your eyes from the stinging from the tears that fell for days before now
keep standing up
keep that back straight, I am warning you, if anyone catches you slouch then it will be over for you
this isn't about your pain, its about their accomplishments their winning their achievements
please just forget all of yours
leave it at the door
where it belongs, outside... even with the rain coming down,
put down the certificate, I am not going to ask you again, let the rain get to it, let the dampness damage the immaculately kept prize, let the ink start to smudge and your name become a blur
you wont even remember what it was for when you get it back
you wont even remember where you came from or why you are here
it will just be a blip in your memory
like the ones you get from a heavy night on the drunken punch
but don't worry, seriously there is no point
for to worry will cause emotion and lets face it, emotion will never help you win any war or argument
it wont cure any disease or infection
it will just lower the tone
and you don't want to be held responsible for being that person now, do you

exactly!

now are we done here, or have you got anything else to ask me
no OK, good
as I said drop all you are, leave it at the door, it has no place in here
thank you
