My Worst Enemy

My worst enemy deserves to know the truth. I owe her that. So I am going to lambast her now. You need to play more; to take life less seriously. You would be happier if you concentrated on the positives. Let the negatives slide down the brook into the river. The large catfish will devour them gladly. Be your best self every day. You do not have to fix everything. You are not in charge of everyone. Be less intense. Be silly sometimes. Write those songs, and play Be yourself always. I know this needs to be said And done For my worst enemy is me.

I am shocked that I surprised you Ilene. I figured you had this figured out the whole time; I did. Smirk. Smirk. I am so excited about the "reveal" now.
