be honest

do you always
like yourself
   your partner
   all your friends
   your job

do you not feel
    at times
that you are quite abominable
   your friends are boring
   or turned into enemies
that your beloved partner has become
   an obligation rather than the joy of your life
and that your job is just
   a never ending treadmill

if all of the above applies
then it is time to take
   a mental step or two
   back from the everyday

look at yourself
as from a mountain top
and honestly acknowlegde
that you belong
   to the seven billion people
   on this globe

who struggle
