Punching at shadows
Playing the games
Looking for loopholes
When it all looks the same
*
Milky cottage cheese
Poured over my fruit loops
The consistency’s changed
Though I’m still jumping through hoops
*
I'm still a contender
Running the race
Like a novice bartender
That can't keep the pace
*
I try and I try, I'm a pretender
Trying to save face
An open wound mender
With really bad taste
*
I've got a sudden taste for
A little take it or leave it
Promises are made
But no-one really means it
*
I've been stuck in the shade
And I hate to admit
I kinda like it this way
Though I never say quit
*
Got to think on my feet
Dig in deep, use my wit
Create a new me
Who won't stand for this shit
*
With just a little luck
I'm heading straight for the sky
Look at me, I'm moonstruck
And all it took was to try

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?

That was wonderful!
Just keep on keeping on, a great motivation piece
A very uplifting piece., Kelli, and well writ, as always! "Milky cottage cheese/ Poured over my fruit loops" may be the most unsetting image I've ever read.
Beautifully written.
That's what we all need in our lives a little luck can go a long way.
