I've done a lot in my life and times.
I've had some fun and written some rhymes.
But I wouldn't say that I'm a success.
Some of the time, I feel I'm a mess.
Still, I'm on the move, and barring some glitch —
Next on the docket: too thin and too rich!
Gonna have to go some to get those done...but the journey continues, and a girl's gotta have a goal or two! At this rate, I'll just have to keep going and never retire. Not a happy thought, although some would say I've always been retired. Meaning I have enjoyed a lot of personal freedom in life. Freedom was always more important than making tons of money (when I could work it out that way), and I'm a great money manager. Don't need much; don't spend much. Ergo, haven't made much, either!
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose? Exactly! Nonattachment. Not having a life cluttered with or dependent on too much stuff. But I'd like to have enough money to buy the best alternative health care, not worry about the cost of anything, know I could retire someday and still live comfortably...all things that take money. So I gotta get to work. Guess I'm living my life backwards!
Hey, it only takes one hit song. Writing lyrics isn't work; it's fun. Getting them put to music, demo'd, marketed, and recorded is the work...and it often doesn't work at all. It's a crap shoot, but what in life isn't?
