Learning to Love Myself

Folder: 
Depressed.

You have read my poems, so mystical

the kind to capture your minds.

But each character is partly me

searching for the love I cannot find.

Trust me I have looked all around

for that one person to love me.

And a couple of times I thought I found it

but it just was not meant to be.

So I keep on searching for that guy

my other half sent from above.

And I have not yet found him

I'm starting to doubt true love.

Recently I dated a new guy

who was kind enough I guess

but he was a little bit strange

and made my life a mess.

But sadly thought he was meant for me.

to change my worthless life.

But he was just looking for a fling

nothing serious at all, like a wife.

But before he left he gave me advice

that he hoped would better my mental health

He explained I would never have a lasting love

until I learned to love myself.
