Waiting for my prince to come.

 

Waiting here for my prince to come,

he’ll sweep me off my feet.

We’ll ride off into the sunset,

my new fate I will meet

 

Here he comes oh, my dream come true!

He’s everything I want.

Time slips by, time opens my eyes,

the realities so blunt!

 

I waited for him for oh, so long,

living in fantasy!

Never worked on me not even once,

just dreams of ecstasy.

 

So here I am alone again,

caught up in misery!

Now what I’ve learned to do this time,

is take some time for me.

 

I’ve learned to laugh and love myself,

to be the best, I can.

I’ve learned that I can be happy now,

it was found in me, not a man.

 

~Melody

 

Author's Note

The joy of a healthy relationship is one I would never want to be with out, but had to be happy with me first to find it.
Again, I am not saying love is not essential...never said that, not sure why everyone thinks I did. The moral of the story is we so many times wait for love to make us happy, it won’t work until we work on ourselves first, become happy within ourselves, then love will work.

The picture and the music fit this poem perfectly. I was quite surprised by it's contents I must say. I've always been told by others you must love yourself before you can love another. I believe that it should be said, you must love yourself, in order to know when another loves you. If you don't love for yourself, how can you expect anyone else too? I like this. Maybe a prince will come along, that just adds to the love that you already found in yourself. Great piece ^_^

So true. I love this. I can relate...still working on accepting myself sometimes. But we can't change or run from who we are. We are all special. It's true no matter who tries to say otherwise. So beautiful and inspirational. Brilliant write.

I love myself,then look in the mirror and wonder, who is that? Still love the way you play simple words,
letting them roll the heavy load,

[Persephone]

Such a great reminder to love oneself first! And I love how you have put out the idea that we s women can be our own prince charming - fantastic poem! I very much enjoyed reading it!

[Jordan A. Wilson]

i like the twist at the end and it's empowering tone.

[Aianarie (INACTIVE)]

I enjoyed this poem. And I agree with your concept. We will never be strong enough to love someone else if we aren't strong enough to love ourselves first.

Thumbs up.

Aww I love this! The photo is perfect!! So many of us girls can say...where is he! But once he is here, he is worth the wait!! And being happy with ourself makes someone see that there is something in us worth falling in love with!! I love this poem!!
