Chasing Fools Gold
I wanted true love, but chased fools gold.
Held it close, like treasure to my chest.
It glittered bright, but the shine was cold.
A promise empty, that gave no rest.
I thought the glow would make me whole.
I followed lies, dressed up as light.
It pulled me far from my own soul,
And left me broken, through the night.
I reached for warmth, but touched the stone.
The silence louder, than any sound.
The path I walked, was mine alone.
No gentle hand, was ever found.
Yet still I dream of love so true,
That waits beyond the false and old.
I learn from all I stumbled through.
No longer chasing fools gold.
The heart can heal, though scarred and worn.
It beats again, with steady grace.
From bitter ash, new hope is born.
And I still seek a tender place.
So if love comes, I will not fear.
Its light will shine, not bought or sold.
A steady flame will keep me near,
Not the glitter of fools gold.

YOUR LIFE!!!!
PLEASE STOP TAKING YOUR LIFE! It will change as you grow and YOU WILL CHANGE what you know We NEVER stay the same. we are ALWAYS changing and liberating, and learning, and discerning, who WE CHOOSE to take up our space. YOU decide who's showing you grace. YOU decide whose love is true and whether their connection is elevating YOU. DO NOT SETTLE no matter what you were told. DON'T let self-doubt make your mind unfold. YOU HAVE THE POWER to heal and BE BOLD. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF and SPEAK YOUR TRUTH. Follow YOUR OWN PATH and BE YOUR OWN PROOF, that life is worth living NO MATTER HOW HARD, so give it all you got and let down your guard. I know the mental tries hard to take over but know that YOU HAVE MEANING and every day you get a do-over. And when you feel in that dark place, just be still and HOLD THAT SPACE. It's okay to not be okay, but that doesn't mean you should go away. That doesn't mean you should give up, RIDE IT OUT and see what's up. LIFE IS A JOURNEY, each stage is a gift, KEEP MOVING FORWARD thru all the rifts. SHINE YOUR OWN LIGHT and

True love is hard to find and once you find it, please don't let it go. What a great poem on finding love to grow.
Sounds like my life on dating sites - chasing fool's gold. 😉😉 When you write do the words come naturally to you or do you have to sit and think about them? They always seem to flow so naturally except for a couple that I perceive you have wrestled with them a bit. This one flowed naturally it would seem to me.
