I searched

For someone to love me..

“Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you.”

― Osho

All my life, I have searched 

For someone to love me

To accept me and 

Make me whole

I was broken 

And I thought someone

Could fix me

I wanted loving arms

To enfold and hold me

Keep me safe 

From harm and agony

I needed someone 

To accept my madness

And calm my crazy

But I was looking too

Far away from myself

I was searching outward

When healing and love

Was waiting right here

I searched in vain

For the Self who 

Waited patiently 

For me to find her

In all the wrong places

I was the savior

I longed for 

When I finally found her

I found ecstasy

And my soul flowered

My inner world

Expanded to encompass

All of my existence

Without waiting for 

Someone to approve

My authenticity

I was the one

I was always looking for

Namaste
