True Self

War of love

By iamnjabuloPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
A Man builds himself.

How do I expect her to truly love me

When I lied about who I am from the start

Holding myself accountable

Can't believe I expected it to be real

When I wasn't even real all this time

Fear of rejection

Life of a Man

They expect you to have it all figured out

As if you were born with it

Can't even accept the real me

I have a lot to work on me

Tired of loving me

For not being truthful to me

If you have to lie to win her

She's not yours,let her go

Channel that energy

to being the person you

have always wanted to be.
