My Search

Since I was young and had memories of,
I always wanted somebody to love;

My heart even then, ached and longed,
For someone to love, and to me only, belong;

I wasn't happy with being with me,
Thought, happiness came from the outside, you see;

The love of myself, came so many years after,
Through heartache, pain and crying with laughter;

I found myself worthy and quite fun to be,
Just with myself, just to be me;

Sometimes I forget and I lose my way,
Let people I love, make my happiness stray;

I have to search hard, look deep from within,
Search out the love from the place it has been;

I will be happy, I'll make it so,
For the love of myself is most important, I know;
