There once was a man on a quest for greatness
One thing stood in his way
He spent most his life searching for that one thing that held him back
He’d always blame others for his shortcomings
Losing love and friends along the way
His life was destructive, because he over endulged
He seemed to lack dicipline or be in touch with reality
In his mind he made others happy, but all they really wondered was if he was ok
He’d boast and brag and hide from the truth
But deep inside he longed
He hurt
Thing about hurt is it grows
It consumes
It can destroy
He sat one day
All alone
Thinking of why his life seemed to be in shambles
In a moment of clarity
He saw the truth
The truth was he was his own worst enemy
He was what held him back
He was the other half of his failed relationships
He was the reason for many of his ills
In his search for the truth
He found a startling revelation
Truth seekers often try to find the truth
They have to be prepared to accept it for what it is
He accepted this truth
