There You Are

No matter where you go
There you are

It’s easy, I know, to blame it on them
Or that place
Or the weather or what you just ate

But really,
The honest to God truth is
It is you

You are the reason, the cause and
The cure
For your discomfit, discomfort and discontent
Like Popeye
You are what you are

But

Unlike Popeye
You can change
You can grow

You can choose to take
A happy companion
Along on your journeys
