My Hunt To Find Myself
I felt I had no purpose.
I felt I had no purpose,
And I do not have a plan.
All I want to do is fuss.
I wish that I had a man.
I have some scars on my face.
Men abused me in the past.
I can't find a happy place.
A relationship won't last.
In the mirror, what do I see?
Someone who has no worth.
I feel anxious and lonely
On this place that we call Earth.
Some nights don't sleep at all.
I don't have friends by my side.
There are days I want to bawl,
And I want to run and hide.
Friends have laughed at my scars.
Voices tell me "You're no good."
I have fought battles and wars.
I don't feel like eating food.
To the voices I can't give in.
I need to find someone to talk to.
God, help me find the strength to "win,"
To be happy in life, not blue.
I felt peace overwhelm me
And felt I had to cry.
I knew I had to see
My worth, there's many reasons why.

The content is good. Check your editing and spelling and it will really shine!
Healing comes slowly. Take the time to love yourself one day at a time. Many are struggling, so know you are not alone, writing helps, i hope. If you can't eat, drink nourishing drinks. This too shall pass.
This was so heartfelt. I’m glad it ended with a moment of peace and hope 💛
