Being Happy With Yourself

Listen to poem:
They always have said become one with your self Be your own happiness instead of needing someone else Don't allow anyone to be your strength or your lifeline Be content with yourself by having good me time When you think about it those statements are true and less stressful Less drama and misunderstandings which are painful No need to wonder "if I do for them would they do for me" Being happy with you means enjoying your own company You know yourself well and there's no need to doubt No need to be an open book to figure another person out You become close with another person but for what To feel like a loser when the relationship is cut To me it seems so much easier just to do you In friendships there's so much red tape to cut through Investing so much time and energy into another person Just to walk away learning another lifelong lesson Until you add someone to it your life stays problem free Now that i've learned im going to start doing me

Wisdom delivered; knowing yourself is paramount in life, a priority and to thy self be true. People who haven't taken time to figure themself out cannot figure out others. HOWEVER, as a Libra, I suck at being alone. I love sharing life with a loving partner. That takes nothing away from the wisdom your well written poem gives a reader. I enjoyed this very much.
