Wishing You The Best
Not All Friends Are Friendly
Very few are wishing what’s considered best for you
Most of us have clearly got some devil deep inside
See, sometimes there’s no limit to the evil people do
So each of our achievements is a target to deride
Jealousy and envy are the lifeblood in their veins
They would rather die before they ever wish you well
The undermining jockey who keeps tugging on your reins
My belief is getting stronger in an everlasting Hell

Unofficial Challenge: What would you do if you were rich?
I love the kind of work I get to do in my career, but as I job search and browse apartments again due to another understaffed and unsustainable work environment that I did not intend to get into, my daydreams of better days consistently lean into the same question: What would I do if I didn't have to worry about my basic needs being met?
