Listen to poem:

Being Happy With Yourself

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.
