Why could I not be the person other people think I am?
Why could I not be as happy as most people think I am?
Why could I not be as strong as some people think I am?
Why could I not be as wise as certain people think I am?
Why must I know myself as intimately as I do?
Why must I feel as sad as I do?
Why must I hurt as I do?
Why must I fear as I do?
Are there other people out there who ask the same questions?
Are there other people out there who laugh while their hearts break?
Are there other people out there who lead when all they want is to follow?
Are there other people out there who are what other people want them to be?
(Just a bunch of random questions on a Sunday morning while wondering about life.)

It's not easy to live up to others' expectations. All I can do is Be Myself. Yet it is good to ask questions like this of ourselves once in a while just to touch bases.
Ah, my friend, many times I've asked myself many of these questions and others much like them. I've just learned to accept myself the way I am and to to do the best I can!!
Nice to see you post. It seems like it's been awhile.
Yes is the answer to the last set of Qs. I often feel the same way.
Thanks for the comments. My problem is that sometimes I am not sure any longer of whether I am the real me or the person other people expect me to be. Horribly complicated! Know any good pscychologists anybody? (lol)
