Life

It never seems to go away
No matter what you say
No matter what you do

It’s always there,
always there to come in
always there to attack you when you think
always there to come and wake you from your sleep

There are no drugs
There are no movies,
Books,
Plays,
And no amount of laughter to hide behind.

It is always there
The pain you feel
Every time you think of love
And someone loving you.

But like they say, “you can’t have someone love you
Until you love yourself.”

But as long as the pain is there
How can you learn to love yourself
Without the love of someone else.
