How to Be Yourself

How to be yourself
Smash the TV
Burn the newspaper
Leave home
Throw all your money away
Take all your clothes off
Lie down
Close your eyes
Fade away
Pass out
Die!
Meet God
And all he will say is who are you?
And you can tell him a name you didn't choose
The place you where born
The house you lived in
The school you learnt in
The factory you earned in
The music you danced to
The people you talked to
And the naturе of your memories
And then hе will say so who are you?
And then unless you're quick
You'll be stuck
And then if you're quick
You'll reply
"I'm a mass of chemicals co-ordinated by the will to live and with the ability to acknowledge my separate existence, as opposed to the theoretical existence of the rest of the universe, including you"
At which point God disappears
Leaving you in charge
And by definition being yourself
