Be Yourself

I sometimes feel like
life is getting harder.
Life is starting to get out of control.
Nothing is going my way.
Everything seems like pulling teeth.

I ask myself, why?
Is life getting a lot harder to live,
or am I not living life right?

After being mad
at the world,
I started to look back
at the past few weeks
and months.

I realize something
that I had known for years,
but I always forget.
Once I start being
someone else
I cannot be myself.
