Who Am I

Who am I

Everyday my thoughts exhaust me
My mind seems to be my enemy 
Who am I, why am I
Who am I supposed to be
Why can’t  I keep them loving me

Am I not enough just as I am
My mind says no, I’m to blame
I must be doing something wrong
That’s why they don’t stay long

I’m just not worth staying for
Coz they all walk out the door
Like I have an expiration date
It must be me, it’s my fate

Who am I, I need to know
I can’t love anyone 
Can’t take the blows
Am I unlovable, what’s wrong with me
They say I’m wonderful, then where is he

I give so much, I love too deep
I have nothing left, my heart feels weak
I’ve cried a thousand tears, but no more
Today I leave love behind, I close that door.

Who am I, why am I ??

Hello Gert Wewege, who are you? The answer is you are you. It takes time to meet the right person in life. You can not make someone love you. It just happens natural. have a nice day my friend.
