The Key

I wonder why I can't be loved;

Is something wrong with me?

When I look in the mirror

Do I see what others see?

A man longing for affection and love

Searching for answers from far above

I didn't hear a thing, to the questions asked

My pain and misery seem very well masked

Trying to find love in a world of none

Trying to find hope in the eyes of someone

Not knowing where or what I'm searching for

I'll know when I find you

You'll hold the key to my every door

One has to love oneself before anyone else. "To find love in a world of none" excellent.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

The key is within you. You have to unlock the doors to your own happiness, rather than waiting for someone else to hold the key to your every door. Only when you are happy with yourself can you be happy with another. Love isn't about expecting someone else to come to your rescue. It's about loving yourself so that you have the freedom to love another. Right now, you are trapped within the prison of your own negative thoughts. You are the key to unlocking the inner you that is waiting to be released for love.
