Oh, for we are not taught to love oneself, But we love others much more savagely. We do not see the goodness in our self, loving flaws of others passionately. Instead of loving our beaten up soul, We trust others with our weak, battered heart. When Caring for others makes us feel whole; to care for oneself will tear us apart. People will leave but we are our only- constant; here, even if we do not wish Even with our constant, we are lonely. Destruction- loving and not, we perish Finally knowing to stay on alert. It's funny how we always end up hurt.

Ode to Love
Oh, for we are not taught to love oneself, But we love others much more savagely. We do not see the goodness in our self, loving flaws of others passionately. Instead of loving our beaten up soul, We trust others with our weak, battered heart. When Caring for others makes us feel whole; to care for oneself will tear us apart. People will leave but we are our only- constant; here, even if we do not wish Even with our constant, we are lonely. Destruction- loving and not, we perish Finally knowing to stay on alert. It's funny how we always end up hurt.
