Ode To Myself

Lonely soul

dripping salty liquids

through her eyes

bowing her head in shame

for she is ashamed of who

she's not

a woman of the world

like everyone else

like everyone wants her to be

by herself she always stays

longing to be with the rest

like the rest

she remains alone

her hands shake

as an earthquake would

as she dreams of the way

she would like her life to be

smiling

laughing

friends all around

people all around

a reality

far from her own

is what she longs for

    poor, lonely soul

her body quivers

her salty liquids drip

her mind wanders

and

she wonders why...

why does she have to be the

only one

the only one

left in the fields of

nothingness

when everyone else

has something to hold on to

and

she doesn't...

On the contrary
you've much to give
for the sake of self

believe that I believe - in you
believe my love is true - unconditionally
for we are one
for in self love, you find self worth
and this you can share with your child
find love in self, is shall be reflected
in your child...
alone you never are
and friends all around, does not
equal friends when in need

Much Respect, One Love
One
