Who You Are

Don't light your arm on fire
In an effort just to feel
The scar will last forever
But the pain you have will heal

Don't get so lost in your own mind
That you ignore all of your friends
Feeling lonely sometimes is normal
But you'll feel worse when those friendships end

Don't allow yourself to fall so hard
That climbing up again feels too far
It's okay that you are sad
But sad isn't who you are

The more time spent focusing on one's self, the more - and greater - flaws appear to be, so the cure is to focus on one's other interests. It is interesting that the validation code for this comment is: PUB! Aloha! Rico
