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

I think many can relate to this, its difficult to change ones point of view, especially when your heart does not want to follow. I love it, thanks for sharing :)

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.
