Authenticity

When I get back to being me I’ll see the things that i should see I’ll know the places I should go and what I want the world to know When I get back to being me they’ll be no doubt of what I’ll be My river will begin to flow and what I am is what I’ll show When I get back yo being me the world and I will both agree To navigate the high and low with no pretense of how to grow

Very cleverly written and so much truth - for most of us! This is sort of "when I grow up", but that is sometimes a long time in arriving!

Superb verse, Mike. I just hope that you DO get back to being you, and not get back to being someone else. That would be a kick, wouldn't it?

We all get distracted sometimes Mike then realise we're where we don't want to be. We have to remain true to ourselves or we become disoriented. Tom
