I searched and searched for answers….
For love…
Outside of me….
As if….
Someone….
Something….
Held it….
But the more I looked outside of me….
The more empty I felt….
The more alone I felt…
Until one day…
I had no choice…
I had to stop depending on…
External validation….
I had to choose to listen to my own heart over….
External approval….
No one holds all the answers…
No one can heal you like you can….
So I take my leave….
And I walk….
The long road back to….
Me.
