You can’t give your preaching a rest

Through your lessons you sacrifice

Can’t you take your own advice?

You tell ‘em not to cheat or lie

And enjoy yourself before you die

So why don’t you live a little?

And become less noncommital

Immune to mistakes, is that it?

And you’ve never taken a hit

Feeling constantly on alert

For fear of ever being hurt

Thinking that you are the smartest

Doesn’t always end up the best

So go follow your own advice

Or what you love you’ll sacrifice

Good poem. Kind of like double personality.
Giving yourself advice. You know you should accept. But then again, you cant. Hm. How conflicting.

You know, you made it right.

Sometimes we give advices to others, but those advices we don't apply them to ourselves. We sometimes doubt.
the last part:

So go follow your own advice

Or what you love you’ll sacrifice

Is the one that I felt like a slap in the face. That's very right.
