Kimberly Larocca Poet Rhyme

Foolish

I search your eyes for who I am
Who I have become
As if I can’t find meaning in
My own reflection

 

I listen for what you call me
Who I am to be
As if what you see matters more
Then what I’m meant to see

 

I ask you to love me
Like I want to love myself
Foolish I am to ask you for
What shouldn’t lie anywhere else

Judy Ball July 2, 2011 at 9:29 AM I do so totally agree with this. We must never be so wrapped up in anyone that our happiness totally depends on what they think of us. We must find our happiness within ourselves. God Bless, JB Kimberly Larocca July 2, 2011 at 6:45 PM Thanks so much for the visit.
