Foolishness of Youth

by EARTHDREAMER - Scorpio

Yearning,
Longing,
Searching
for someone to accept, 
to love and make me whole.

Needing
Wanting
Reaching 
for anyone to accept,
to love and help me make a home.

Foolish
Knowing
Turning
I finally look inside,
to accept, to love me.

Finding
Loving
Accepting
myself and learning that 
I must grow before I can be whole.

Reason for writing:

    Sometimes, in our youth, we think that someone or something can fill a void or make us better.Years of experience has helped me realize that only I can fill my void. Lovers come and go. Drugs wear off. In the end, we all must face the truth. Only we can improve our own life. Depending on someone or something else is a waste of time and energy.
