New Patterns, Old Feelings

Not enough

Too much

Stay the same

Always change

Round and round

These patterns I go

Where I will land

I’ll always know

If I don’t receive attention

I’m losing needed affection

I’m giving myself direction

To stay stuck in my pointless ways

Maybe giving the feeling

A new chance, a new meaning

Can provide my soul the annealing

It needs to feel seen and praised

How I have come to terms

With the style of love that I have learned

Will give me results that I deserve

The outcomes of how I act

But maybe that’s the key

A new way to set myself free

Because if I act differently

I can enter into a new pact

Sooner than I can blink

That toxic part of me will shrink

I can finally start to think

About what will feel like enough

So I’ll put my ego to rest

So I can begin providing my best

So that all I will want expressed

Is the ways you show me love
