Hard to face



It’s hard to face myself
Sometimes it’s hard to look at myself
It’s hard for me to admit that I mess up sometimes
It’s hard for me to say that it’s no one’s fault but mine
I miss up sometimes
I admit I’m my own worst enemy at times
I strive for better
Lord knows I want better
I can point a million fingers on why I’m not where I want to be in life but that wouldn’t help me progress in life
It’s hard to face myself
To truly look at myself and to admit I have a lot of work to do
It’s hard to face me but I have to in order to be a better me
It’s time to live a life that creates the better me
I am free but right now it’s hard to face me
