I’d Rather Be Me

Everyone’s going it’s a la monde,
you could be Buble, Jagger or Cardi,
I sighed and relented
and tagged along,
but they were all off-beat
and way, way out of key,
they were having such fun,
but I was thinking,
I’d rather be me.

    I think Frank Sinatra sang a song about that very subject. I wouldn’t want you any other way.

    Great idea! None of those wealthy famous people seem to be very happy …

    Paul it is an awful undertaking when we choose to follow not our own hearts but one that is. a facsimile of another.😯
