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.

Lol well all of us do well to take an honest introspective analysis from time to time. The question is how many are truly objective when we do? Enjoyed this Joe.
