Because Of Me Poem by Yolanda Wel

I wouldn't say that I've tried, that shouldn't be a word,
to say that I haven't succeeded that just won't be heard.
I have been told to look beyond what I know is real,
a place where only you decide when and how you'll heal.
Because of me and who I am I know this place too well,
it wasn't very hard to find for It was my own hell.
It was here I learned what it meant to have a broken heart,
to fall in love so falsely that wasn't very smart.
True love doesn't just happen as many want to believe,
our willingness to give our love is easier than to receive.
it has been in my experience that love is just a game,
I give to much, I want to little and in the end im to blame,
Because of me and who I am I settle for much less,
I didn't need to be the first or come before the rest,
so sadly in the end what is left,
just so happens to be because of me
