Why can't life be simple?
Why can't we be who we are?

Why can't we come and go as we please,
no matter how close or how far?

Why can't we love without restrictions?
Why must there be a penalty to pay?

Why must we always be on our guard?
Why can't we say what we'd like to say?

Why can't we react to any situation,
with our feelings completely free?

But the bondage of life seems to overtake,
And keeps me from being...Me

If you can't make it so,
you need to let it go!

there are days like that

I've heard it has something to do with learning how to love oneself, then when we are being our true self, to thine own self be true, hmmm, we are able to accept our foibles and forgive ourself for being human. Then we learn better how to do the same for others.

Well, that's what I've heard.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
