To Thine Own Self...

by Nicole M. - Gemini

To thine ownself be true...

Simple enough to grasp...
Five simple words...simple idea
But weak and fragile.

By what boundaries can you define yourself?  What single aspect seperates yourself from not-yourself...Are not the actions you envoke, actions of your own?  Are you not thine person that acts as yourself?  What set of guidelines do we make this checklist by to define when we deny thine?  Yourself is such a present tense term, but how impossible it is, to catch the moment we are in now, for before we even start to grap, we are already gone.  I have never once been true to thine own self...because it doesn't exist.  I am not seperated from a True Self.  I am who I am when I am.  I have no displaced deity of an ideal Nicole..I'm never true to something that is none existant...I am truth.
