Will Smith once said: "Her happiness is not my responsibility. She should be happy and I should be happy individually. Then we come together and share our happiness. Giving someone a responsibility to make you happy when you can't do it yourself is selfish." Too many times have I heard "I need a relationship to be happy and it makes me question what can be so wrong with someone that the need to depend on another random human for happiness? We have our own value and we need to find love within ourselves in order to love anybody else. This is a small poem I wrote on that.I had to achieve happiness from loving myself
Though I always thought it came from loving you
Though after years of chasing fantasy
Realized we weren't meant to be
And that I had to change my point of view
How can I go on hating myself?
And expect love from anybody else?
Cause if I don't have the effort
Let's be real I'm gonna get hurt
It's my own heart that probably will melt
I'm a pretty fly guy
When I dress to the 9's
If I don't show I care
Of course my freshness gonna die
So it's all in the push of my mind
My mind is a wonder
That'll have you sinking under
My thoughts don't just rain
They poor
I'm a valid individual
With so much love to give and more
I guess I can love myself without help
