Bruised Ego...I suppose....

At my weakest moments...I've made myself looked like a fool...
I've been betrayed by my own heart...yet again.
I have nowhere to hide...it is from within that i am tormented.
My own mind has taken me prisoner...
I struggle against a formidable opponent.
Am i doomed to forever be seeking peace and yet never to attain it?
I have known all along the secret to happiness is to love yourself so that you may give love to others.
If you get loved in return...it is merely a bonus.
But my mind makes me believe otherwise...promising me false love.
Love is not out there...it comes from within.
The pursuit of finding love is an illusion created by the mind.
In essence... love is a fool's game... I must admit.
