![]() People always tell me I should love myself Only I don’t know how Nobody ever taught me But when others are happy I’m happy And when they’re sad I’m sad too But I never stop to ask myself “How do I feel?” That’s why I fall in love too quickly
That’s why I spend so much time with people I like Because when I’m alone I always find I’m in bad company But when I’m with friends Even just driving around Listening to music The voice inside is quiet And in those moments I know where I am I don’t really think we were put here for a reason But if I had to take a guess I think the reason would be something like this: To love those around us While there’s still time to love them.

Wow! I love this poem. It's such an interesting idea, the way we are impacted by the emotions of the people around us. Comments are closed.
