  <title>Comments on 'Advice For the Perfectionist, the Conformist, The Monster-In-Waiting, And Everyone Who Refuses to Man (Or Woman) Up And Take Control of Their Lives'</title>
  <subtitle>Completely broken
No will to exist
Haunted by a penitentiary 
Of ill-conceived notions
The quest for perfection
Tainted by imperfections
Leaves you empty

Drown your sorrows
Wear your masks
Pretend you're okay
Escape from reality
It's what everyone else does

Assert yourself
Stop giving in
Do _not_ conform
Follow your dreams
Stop allowing _them_ to dictate
_Your_ life

Or you will wake up
Wondering who or
Even _what_ you are
Weighed down by the consequences
Of all those decisions
You were too weak _not_ to make

*Communication terminated by the Authority. The C.E.O. of the Powers-That-Be. A not-so-distant cousin of Big-Brother. An enemy of all that is creative.*</subtitle>
