On A Journey To The Unknown

Will I always be a disappointment
To each and everyone that I meet
Or will there finally come a day
When I finally satisfy someone

No matter what I try to do
It seems I am never good enough
Which is very discouraging to me
Resulting in me not even trying

One thing I have learned
You can not satisfy everyone
The best thing you can do
Is work on satisfying you

Many years I have tried to
Only to be told it was wrong
Trying to please others
Just never does seem to work

So discouraging it can be
To the point you just want to quit
So take it from me my friends
Don't try to please anyone else

I am so glad I read this.  Think if I print it out, hit myself in the head with it a few times...I'll finally get it?  Great write, Smartchick!  Much truth here.

when you please yourself, along the way you will please others....and as long as you stay true to yourself, and know you are doing the "right thing" then you can't go wrong! *hugs* for you.....

(smiles) Oh Sue, I couldn't agree with you more, dearest friend, I always have the tendency to try and make peace with everyone I meet, and I have always at some point failed to do so, but nevertheless I know if I can carry on with my heart on my sleeve, I will find all my heart desires! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet frind, this is wonderful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
