how foolish of of us
to believe we would
have a purpose

how foolish of us
to believe that we would
ever be of use again
its hard to realize
that you are not a fool
for being fooled by a fool
just realizing that it wasnt my fault

i’ve been fooled all along

without realizing it sooner
it makes me foolish
of why love could only do it for me
but all i know is love doesn’t hurt
but will only learn to love and give.

I’m no longer gonna let myself in to you
because I just realize how much value and worth i deserve that doesn’t serve you anymore.

Are you the Heaven’s gate keeper?
Is it your calling to terminate?
Have you walked an inch in my shoes?
Do you know my sorrow?
Do you know my blemishes and what developed them?

No

Yet, you judge
You say I am sinful
You say I am
a fool
dreadful
ungrateful

But

I am hopeful
Beautiful
Faithful

I don't need your flocking.
People will judge when your life is not like their's. Knowing that you are beautiful and have a beautiful future is all you need.

Loving someone else more than you do yourself.

A romanticized ideal,
but a so very scary one.

How can one love so much?
I still do not understand.

Is it beautiful or foolish?
I have yet to decide.

Maybe because I have not met the one yet,
or because it is all a myth.

I guess only time can answer my questions.
In this poem, I do not mean loving your family, I mean a lover as in a significant other

Do you ever want to be naive?
Yearn to be in those moments when you were foolish
Before knowledge tainted our innocence
