Unstable

I must learn when to fall
I must learn when to keep my distance
I must learn that not everyone loves like me
I must learn my place

For years I have tried to be the only one
I have tried to keep inner thoughts hidden
Will we get back to a good place?
It just does not seem the same

The closer I get the more the voices scream at me
Did I put myself right back in square one?
I feel lonely and shattered with no confirmation
The one that can give it to me either cannot or will not

At this point I am starting to feel like we are just lying to ourselves
How could there be love but no desire to ease the mind
How could you say you love someone but do not want to be truthful?
The real question here is when will I choose myself?

The hardest love to attain is the love of self. But once acquired loving others becomes easier. Though truth be told it is a lifetime love to achieve in self. The thing about loving self is you can't lie to you. You already know your frailties and vices. All your mistakes and proclivities, bad habits. If you can live to love all those things which encompasses you ten you can do the same for another. Wonderful poem thank you for sharing your work.
