Unveiling Illusions: A Heart's Journey to Self-Love

In shadows' grip, my toxic trait prevails,
Seeking goodness in those who never cared,
They treat me harshly, cast me to the winds,
Yet my heart remains, love intact.

Each chance bestowed, a throat's piercing blow,
No blindness veils their true selves from sight,
Yet still, my soul yearns for that spark of light,
Hope's ember flickering, my heart's resolute plight.

Oh, how I shatter my own fragile heart,
Seeking virtues where they refuse to communicate,
Weariness consumes me, as I chase empty dreams,
For within their souls, goodness remains unseen.

No more shall I seek what isn't meant to be,
No more shall I yearn for what they cannot see,
Rising from the ashes, with strength I reclaim,
Embracing self-love, and breaking this painful game.

In this moment of reckoning, my heart finds release,
From the chains of illusions, granting inner peace,
For within myself, a love that's pure and true,
A love that heals wounds, and carries me through.

With tender grace, I bid farewell to the chase,
No longer searching in a barren, fruitless space,
For the love that I seek, resides within my core,
A heartfelt journey, where self-love will endure.
