Explaining to myself all the reasons
Makes me realize there was no treason
I'm not the answer to anyone's prayers
I'm just a man curing a headache with bayer
I have to distance myself, sit back and stare
For the truly selfless reason that I really do care
It's not easy to give up what I want
It is not easy to resist with everything that taunts
But I can't solve the equation today
The test is new each and every day
The answers are not written in stone for me
My feelings and thoughts are as deep as the sea
The albatross that hangs over my humbled crown
Excludes me from happiness, keeping my spirits down
My insecurities will certainly do me in
Because I'm not who I want to be, that is my sin
I'm not able to create, a life of pure bliss
I've failed in my mind, and her love is missed
Unable to secure itself, leaving me alone
Hoping the future will improve my sorry ass home.
“The Tao Te Ching says, When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. Have you ever struggled to find work or love, only to find them after you have given up? This is the paradox of letting go. Let go, in order to achieve. Letting go is God’s law.”

It took me 42 years to learn this lesson, Dan. Don't worry, something beautiful is coming your way real soon one day, you'll see!
