Yourself
do yourself a grand kindness
dare not
to be like another
please
just be yourself
how, you say
do I go about being myself
simple my friend
make sure
you are as one with yourself
that’s all you can be
that’s enough

Such truth to these words Jerry...important ones indeed....I have come to understand the true meaning of these words and how pertinent they are to one's survival...to LIVE and not merely just exist...Wonderful ink my friend!

Yep Taryn, you have found the same thing I have finally achieved. Be yourself, and if then you are still are unhappy, you need to ferret out the reason why and deal with it. Thank you.
