Cray Cray

I think it’s ok for me to say now, that I AM a bit cray, cray and I know how, I know how that seems,

that maybe I’m just speaking to be seen, and I know how, I know what you mean when people say that,

because I’ve thought it too, but my point of view has changed now, changed now to realise,

that it shouldn’t fucking matter, but now I know better now, better now that I’ve finally grown into my own now, my own now,

ya know?

And it took me this long now, to not care to belong now, belong now, not anywhere that I thought I should be, and if it’s just me on my own now, my own path now,

then so be it.

I’m ok now, ok now, to say now that I’m Cray Cray and how that makes me feel is to say say,

I’m good now.

    Oooo, the repetition made this seem like a song. Loved it!

    Yaaay Jess posted something. Wait. Is this your only recent piece… I will go check. I’ve been on and off here, soooo, a little bit out of touch. But this was amazing, I always get good vibes from your writing, and it’s probably not from the repetition. But from the way you just flow your way through life, one thought at a time. That cool chill vibe. Even better that you’re cray cray. I am the same maybe worse, but no one is allowed to conclude that lol. The ‘I know how, I know how’ makes it sound like you’re singing, like summer road trip kind of vibe. It even makes me feel high when I am reading. That’s, it, I love it because it makes me feel high and because you know how to flow it that way. 👌🏽

    Welcome to the fucking club, my cray cray pal from Down Under! I am a simple man at times, I see a notification "Jess Boyes has published a new story, and click and read. Consume and then comment. Comment on how brilliant this is. How much I love the repetition because I repeat stuff way too much. See what I did there? And that I feel this with every inch of my being. Every damn line. Perfectly imperfect work, as always.
