confused about self

love is false,

love is lies,

they say that love is divinity,

divinity of what.....

the cocooned ideal of sharing belief,

the lust you feel before you sleep,

the need to lean on when in pain and confused,

the idea to belong is a proof your strong.

the negatives they whisper is to be left on the shelf,

when all you want is a life for yourself.....

 

but then they whisper self as negative,

an uncaring ideal for the unapproachable

an excuse to shunt and close a door to the world

a life that leads to bitterness and twisted of thought

for to belong to no one is no life at all...

Author's Note

I wrote this when 17 yrs old and backpacking, I met so many others in relationships who thought it odd I would be travelling on my own, with no one else to share my experience.
