The New

I feel like no one loves me 
I feel like no one cares
I know I need to love me 
I know I need to care
The only person whose opinion really matters
It doesn’t matter to me
I have this inner battle
The old against the new
The new is dying
I don’t know how to save it
I want it to win
I want it to prosper 
I need it to save me
The new will be the end to my hatred 
The new will be the start of a brand new happiness and light
The new? 
The new is a me with a fresh beginning
The beginning of a new life
A new time and place 
I’ll do anything to get away from this old face
This face of sadness 
It would be gone
I need to win this battle for self love

A Star is Born. There is a light in there wanting to burn bright. Sometimes you need to reach out touch other Light...maybe a collaboration of minds to spark off each other...burn brighter, a new way of looking at life.x

Hello Eve, nice to meet you. I think when you wrote this poem you were depressed. Eve you must love yourself. Self love counts. Have a nice evening my friend. It is nice to meet you.
