Learning to Love


I can be anything

another wants me to be

I can follow your  dream

and stay by your side

but in the end that is not me

I’d only be the error of my mistakes

How can I be something behind my drapes

Drapes so blinding, my downfall stays

I’d be lying to myself, when I say “I love you”

I can’t even love myself, to love another

Love can only be endure when I live to love

How can I love you, when I can’t accept myself

I need your patience, to surpass this imperfection

Imperfections, so stubborn, I hurt others, in self

Don’t tell me you love me, for I can’t be who you want me to be

Show me your ways, to find the truth of such emotion

Love me, so I can learn to love as much as you

For in the end love it one’s self is the key to love another
