Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an “L” on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming
Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets
You’ll never know if you don’t go
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow
Hey now you’re an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you’re a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It’s a cool place and they say it gets colder
You’re bundled up now but wait ’til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world’s on fire how about yours
That’s the way I like it and I never get bored
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming
Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what’s wrong with taking the back streets
You’ll never know if you don’t go
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow

The point is rather that this is my life so the rest of you can go screw yourselves. I mean I love you all I really do but I chose this and dammit I’m going to live it.
I want to be as good as I can be.
I want to love as much as is mishily possible.
I want to take this life of mine and squeeze every last drop until I’m a dead, dry husk with nothing left to give.
So come on then, friends, muses, lovers all, I am a Mish and you just wait and see what I’m going to do because it’s going to be better and more me than anything ever has been.
I gotta plan.
Shh! It’s a secret.
This reads like the opening page of… something. A novel, probably, or a manifesto.
Whichever, don’t serialise it in Cosmo.
Aye aye sir! No Cosmo serialisations!
*raises eyebrow*
Good on you. The only person you will ever be happy to be is yourself.
I’m intrigued about your plan though…
Shh! It’s a secret!
