I have sought love.

I have sought love in many places,
the wrong places I should say.

Mistreated
Misunderstood
Betrayed

A ****
A *****
Useless
Daddy issues
That is what I was called.

I have sought love and all I gave away was myself
I was selfless.
Did not have any expectations
Did not have any guaranty of how long it would last
All I wanted was to be loved and to be heard.

I have sought love and on my third fall
I felt hard that I had no other choice but to love myself.
I fell so hard, I was heard, I was understood, I was not judged.
I fell in love with myself and I was truly grateful because fulfillment came from within.
I fell in love and disappointments became life lessons.
I fell in love and achievements became lifetime celebrations.

I fell in love and saw no purpose in a man.
