...Life...
That's life, my dear, just as you said
and, yes the problem's in our head.
Self-respect we cannot fake
We can try, but it won't take.
We need to learn to be alone, to love ourselves
and make a home...just for us...
To live alone we need to be...
content in our own company...
It should never, ever be...
someone else's job to make us happy
and, yes the problem's in our head.

someone else's job to make us happy

"someone else's job to make us happy"
... the basis of all dysfunctional relationships, I guess.

Y' know?
Sometimes I think it's all about hormones.
All they seem to do is cause our brains to backfire... Thanks for stopping in...Ely

Gee Orenda...
I am pleased to have pleased...
That is indeed high praise coming from you...as you please a great many with your poetic works...
I guess... being chronologically gifted has its good points.
Mebbe I should stick around a while longer... give it a think. Hugs...Ely
