HURT AGAIN

I’ve tried so hard to love and be loved.
Will I ever reach my goal. Why it is so hard.
I just don’t know. What is it in life that
just won’t let me be me. I’m always fighting
for what man calls love.

I’ve been hurt time and time again. To the point
that it doesn’t matter anymore. I found that I
always get over it. Pain is something I learned
at an early age. It seems to follow me every where I go.

How long must my life go on this way. Will the pain
ever stop. Sometimes I wish my life was over.
But I keep on living with this thing on my back.
Praying to find true love some day.

Just to be loved is all I ask. But this is something
that I haven’t found. I give my all to show my love
to my mate. But then I just get knocked down
again, just like always.

First with my family. That’s where it began. Then
it moved on to my so called friends. I then turned
to the church. But love was still absent from my
life. And I was just hurt again.

Now it may sound as if I’m depressed.
But I’m just really lonely like many others.
God said, love as you want to be loved.
But in this world people only use love.

I know that happiness has got to be somewhere.
But I can never find it. I get to the door and I
think I’m there. But I soon find out that I’m
hurt again. So I’m right back where I started from.

What does it take to be loved as you love others.
Why can’t I find someone who loves me as I love them.
Jesus is the only one who loves me for me.
But as for the rest, I’m just hurt again.
