A Heart’s Struggle

In a world filled with love

i find myself pondering

why is it so hard to embrace me?

The love that I hold for those in my sight

yet within my own heart, a darker light

empathy flows freely, since compassion,

but the loath of me crawling, killing me by time

They say my love surpasses all bounds,

a light of warmth for them to rely on,

but why can’t I bask in its glow?

I keep trying,

I try to fly finding me

yet I keep falling for flying so freely

With ease I give love away,

pouring everything I have in me each day,

even though the things I offer are the very things I crave for my own
