I always say: I don’t want it,
I don’t want anything,
And all I want is my kid.
But now I know all I did was kid
Kid myself and my heart
I know now I want that part

I want it all,
I want everything,
But am I worthy?
Worthy of another's love
One who loves me for me?
Or am I destined to be
The one and only me?

I do want it but at what costs?
I don’t want to feel lost
But I also don’t want my heart broken
I don't think I can do this on my own
I just need someone to help me be shown.

The author's comments:
I wrote this because my family is trying to make me believe that I will find "the one". And up until this poem I have been lying to my family and myself by saying that I don't want it
