It’s a challenge, this “be a better version of myself” thing, it really puts my head in a spin,
I mean I’m a weirdo, I’m definitely no hero, but I just wanna be free and express myself in poetry,
I mean yeah, it’s weird and intense, and it doesn’t always make sense,
but hello! Welcome to my brain - enjoy the show!
But didn’t you hear? That we’re all a bit weird? So own it, go for it, just show it - you’ve got one life to live, just like me,
I mean, what I would give to just be at peace - with me and my weirdness,
fuck, I’m a hypocrite, but I’m still gonna try it, don’t shy from it, just allow it and fuck the critics,
I’m a bad ass weirdo - namaste, bitches.

One of the Crazy Things Rich People Do That's Scary To Think About
They impress us, and sometimes they scare us, but the ultra-rich are always interesting. Some of their famous activities include buying yachts too big to move through channels, buying ridiculously priced cars that could feed the homeless of New York for weeks, and their expensive tastes in sex workers.

hahahahahahahahah Man. I love this so much, Jess! LOL...it's still making me grin and chuckle trying to type the bloody comment. I wholeheartedly agree with you and share your sentiments completely. I also love that you used one of my least favourite words and it still sounded awesome "namaste"...the addition of bitches just made it the best mic drop ever! Well bloody done. I will hunt ol' Justin from Vocal down if this is not Top Story soon! :)
