I Suck At Being Me
I do a much better job
with telling others what to do;
Difficulties they encounter -
I know just how to pull them through.
But, when it comes to my own life,
it doesn’t occur so easily -
The simple matter of it all is …
… I suck at being me.
I have answers to all your questions;
Remedies that you should use;
I know character traits you should acquire
and the attitudes that you should loose;
I know the words you should say
and when to respond silently,
but I do not follow my own advice, because …
… I suck at being me.
So, let me set you straight;
Let me tell you how to act.
Accept my sage advice
and take my observations as pure fact.
The most important thing I have to say,
and you should listen carefully,
don’t use me as your example, because …
… I suck at being me.
