It's Just You

When the job doesn’t quite fit
and you don’t stay more than 6 months

when friends wander away
as soon as they get their own car

when the loves of your life
no longer see you for who you will be,
who you could be,
but only as you are

when the conflicts
consistently outnumber 
the connections

when the party you set up
never gets off the ground

then it may be time
to look elsewhere
for the cause of  your chaos
it maybe 
the most important tool for you
to stop
is a mirror.
