Analysis of Feelings

Charlene Louw 1979 (Vanderbiltpark)



I feel frustrated
I feel really sad,
Not being in control
Makes me totally mad.

People don't realize
How lucky they are,
For being loved
Is my greatest mission by far.

The feeling of insecurities
Has come and has gone,
I am who I am
But love I always get wrong.

The problem I have
Is that I love unconditionally
And love to do everything
For my family.

Single I am
And have been for far too long,
Wondering if true love
Will ever come along.
