Angry youths only have dung

I finished watching this long-awaited Bbobby today. I don't want to talk about the plot, but I really like this line in it.

you've got... shit to offer.
You've got no poetry.
You've got no Iight.
You've got no one Iooking at you and saying,''Damn.Look at that MigueI.I want some of what he's got.''
AII you got is your anger.

MigueI is an Indian in the film who does chores in the hotel kitchen. It was his black head chef calmly educating him after his complaints about making whites respect natives and reclaim California land.

When I saw this line, it seemed that every sentence stabbed my fragile little heart. I seem to be the type of person the chef described as unstructured, uninspired, unenviable, and useless but angry. All I got is...shit.
