More Poetry:

How can I love again,

How do I love somebody

When I don't love myself?

Is it outside, or within?

I searched from high to low

From valleys to mountains.

I've searched for strength and wealth,

Wealth of friendships and wealth of support.

Wealth in this world

Is less than the depth of our own export.

Life being measured by how much we give,

without regard to the materials one may extort

From the world and into the pocket.

If I ever come to, will I have the strength to stop it?
