I've made some mistakes

and I try to understand why,

I never felt I measured up

in this life I called mine.

I've given myself away

more times than I know,

but few saw my worth,

a devastating blow to my ego.

So I found my self respect,

it was hidden deep inside.

In the same place I had hidden,

my value and my pride.

I was starving for attention,

for someone to call my own,

someone to belong too

someone to call my home.

I learned to adore me

after years had passed away,

I wondered why it took so long

for me to find my faith.

Everything in its time,

knowledge comes with age,

listen to my sage advice

it may save you from this pain.
