BEST YOU CAN
Some things you learn as you
Get older.
Beauty is in the eye of the
Beholder.
You can't make real friends with
Fake people.
Sometimes your partner is not
Your equal.
You learn to respond not
React.
No bullshit, you need the
Facts.
You fine-tune your
Intuition.
Some things are magic,
No magician.
You no longer need to be
Accepted.
You stop getting yourself
Arrested.
You don't mind not being
Included.
You don't sign up to be
Recruited.
No worries about not
Fitting-in.
Some things get under your
Skin.
You slow down and sip your
Tea.
No more barking up the wrong
Tree.
You realize happiness is an
Inner thing.
Love can bite, bleed and
Sting.
Your values and morals are
Subjective.
Controlled emotions are more
Effective.
Purpose and intention are
Important.
Security and stability need
Reinforcement.
Harness your energy, maintain
Your focus.
You can tell if it's a bonus or
Bogus.
It is not about the things you
Have.
Never send someone on your
Behalf.
Sometimes shit is going to hit
The fan.
Life is short,
Do the best you can.
