Sunk by negative thoughts

Self-doubt because I do not feel loved

It is my fault for expecting too much

I except from people what they cannot give me

I have learned to love myself but sometimes I want a different love

Am I not capable of being loved?

I have so much energy to share

But I keep it inside of me and I am about to explode

I just want to love but I also want to be loved

I just want to feel love, but I think I am asking for too much

Or maybe it is me, I see other people being loved

I guess it is a good thing I have learned to love myself

And when they darkness attacks, I have myself
