Fixing Yourself

Fixing yourself is 
a painful process 
because it hurts
now you have
to analyze and figure
out why is it that 
you don't work.

So you compare yourself
to your friends and family
and maybe a couple of clones
on the streets and immediately
you began to feel obsolete

One step at a time you unscrew
yourself and get all the tools
to make a better you.
But each day it hurts 
deep down in your soul 
because it's hard to keep going
it's hard not to feel like your screwed

We are who we are. We must always be ourselves and not compare ourselves to others. Be yourself and just do what is right in your life you will be fine. Excellent writing. Love, Carol
