Open Heart Surgery

Everyone feels like

They need somebody

At one point or more

That was me

Why do we all

Want someone to fix us

The love is here

Where it has always been

 

Don’t be with the one who tells you

Each of you is the half they need

You’re not the strength that they require

No other can give you all you seek

 

Maybe you’ve thought

I am not worthy

Sometimes I’ve felt

Validation was key

Rejection was worse

Making it harder

To find any joy

In my own company

 

Don’t ever feed into the compulsion

That together you will both be complete

You have got all you need inside you

You are everything you need

 

It’s pretty easy

To feel alone

Easier still

To want some relief

The easiest

Is the run from yourself

You cannot escape

That you’re worthy

 

Don’t believe all the people you envy

It’s never as perfect as it seems

It only works if our self worth

Is at the height of humble esteems
