Love Me While I'm Lonely Poem by Ivan Chizurum Ezeigbo

Maybe you're right
Maybe I am not that happy after all
Maybe I haven't achieved true self love
Maybe I am a little dirt
Maybe I am exaggerating
Maybe I am hiding behind the comforts and blankets of distraction
Illusion and ignorance
Maybe I am behind the curtains of small achievements
Maybe I am just ungrateful
Not appreciating the little I have or have done
But who would know?
When would I know?
Do I only deserve love
The right to be loved by you
Only when I have achieved one for myself
By myself
For myself
From myself
I am a very impatient animal
And sad too
