Stranded

I’m stranded in a place I don’t belong,
Sure wish I knew how I got here.
I can’t escape,
it’s useless.
Please don’t waste your precious lives worrying about me,
I’m just not worth it.
All I ever wanted was true love,
unconditional love.
I can give it easily,
but cannot receive it for fear it may disappear.
They say I’m not doing well enough,
they tell me I pull away.
If I’m not pulling myself,
I’m pushing others.
They go eventually.
Just what is the point of it all?
to live in this place of uncertainty,
is it worth living at all anymore?
I’m stranded in a place I don’t belong,
and I’m trapped.
