Don'T It Make Your Brown Eyes Blue

Twas nineteen seventy-six and myself a mere seventeen years of age
Autumn's quickly bringing to yet it's close, her bicentennial's celebrations
Going solo crashing their university's party once again; an outcast as quite shy
Just odd it seems a poor kid trying to fit in; better, wishing to be loved or, belong ?
Having tasted this glimpse be hope his yearbook, at fifteen and what girls had written
Trodden by life the lost child sleeps truth, never have they awoke ? Reality but fragments 
As dreams still today while some contemplate she serves nay, their failure onus premeditates....
Signet heart, twained tours love's asylum: less this night, vodka in lemonade her blonde, a brunette.

Yes, we all go through periods of doubting ourselves and our acceptability. In the end we realize, that whether we are loved or not, we need to love ourselves. That is the greatest love of all, except, of course, the love of the Father. :)

We all yearn to be loved since the day We are born,following our tender teen years..and later in life.We all need to belong,and We all pass from moments of feeling alone.Sometimes We search love in the wrong places.Loving ourselves, surely help us to satisfy our yearnings,and the need to belong would come second priority and not that important at all.So much to ponder in this write, John.
