Do not fear abandonment
He was just passing through
Hope you learned a thing or two
Love in your heart is what’s true
That person is a foolish man
Hidden agendas with a plan
And don’t question the reasons
Continue to live happy each season
Ignite the fire and the love in you
Dust the negative that passed through
Reach deep inside your wounded soul
Bring back the you that’s whole
God sends us lessons with pain
And many more will arrive with rain
Treat this one as that one too
Find your strength and the happy you
Don’t try healing broken souls
That is not your true role
You deserve so much more
Say Enough to the burdens you wore
Wake up and smile wherever you go
Love the blue sky that fits us all
Feel the sunshine on your face
Love and laugh with so much grace
Self-love is what you need daily
Erase the emptiness as quick as can be
Count your blessings and have an attitude
Live your daily life full of gratitude
Embrace your blessings, it’s a new day, a new you!
Background
When I wrote this poem, I was remembering a dear friend that I have known for decades. Lisa was so innocent and trusted everyone, and was often feeling down for not having a relationship. She was always looking for love and chose the people that she believed need fixing. In her last relationship, she spent endless hours trying to find him a job, helping him financially by paying his bills, and even taking him in to live with her in her apartment for free.
Lisa tried so hard to fulfill his dreams as he was an inspiring artist. She thought by proving her love to him by doing so much for him, he would love her more, and even commit to her, but things did not go her way. I believe many of us can relate to this, as at one point in our lives we did this when we were very young, from a lack of experience. This can happen due to some circumstances in your home, how much love you received as a child, and maybe limiting beliefs that you are not good enough and have doubts about yourself that prevent your self-love. I believe no one has to work hard for love, but rather work on a relationship together as a couple. Love should be given freely and willingly. In life, we waste so much of our precious time on things that are not benefiting us, and deep inside we know it will not go well but we try until we hit a dead end. I have a lovely suggestion for the young women that are trying so hard for love, and end up picking the kind of person that needs fixing. In the end, you cannot fix anyone, by trying so hard, you lose yourself along the way, and that person you are trying to win over can even stop respecting you. Be kind to your soul and listen when it speaks to you. We are born with intuition and when we take the time to listen to it, we will always find the answer. Be well!
