Yearn

This is my first time sharing one of my poems. I hope you all enjoy. :)

Yearning for peace

So I'm fine with being lonely

Yearning for love and attention

So I surround myself

Now I receive it falsely

So I teach myself alone does not equal l0nely

Maybe I'm dramatic

Maybe I'm clueless

Maybe I want to end the feeling of being useless

Daydreaming to escape reality

It just exhaust me mentally

Comparing myself to others

Hating myself, wishing I could've been something better

Head to pillow all day

Wake to misery

Mind weary

My throat filled with words of fire

Swallow them to the pits of the forbidden

Dangerously keeping myself from being the best I can be

Yearning to learn that true love starts within me.
