WHO AM I MEANT TO BE?

I've been fooled time and again,

Caught in webs spun by deceitful men—

I could lose myself in deep despair,

Yet still, I offer kindness, unaware.

But as time passes, with so many to meet,

Why do I find myself in this bittersweet?

Trapped by promises that never come true,

Misled by hopes I once thought I knew.

It hurts to admit, it's hard to confess,

I never dreamed I'd fall for a man in distress.

So, who am I meant to be, truly, I ask,

When in this ocean, my heart wears a mask?

With so many fish in the vast, wide sea,

Why is it that none are meant for me?

It seems I'm cursed, or perhaps it's fate,

To be left alone while others find mates.

After fishing in these waters so deep,

I feel the waves, yet I catch not a peep.

If I do reel in, they belong to another,

While I'm left yearning, my heart in a shudder.

Who am I really meant to be, I ponder,

Why do I still feel like a ship lost in thunder?

Maybe someday, I'll catch what I seek,

But for now, it seems my heart's growing weak.

Is finding this "love" truly that hard?

Would my joy come from someone unmarred?

If I could mold him, shape him anew,

Yet someone else holds the title, it's true.

Am I destined to wait for a ship that won't land,

Hoping for someone who'll take my hand?

I'm weary and worn, with no promise in sight,

So, what am I meant to be in this endless night?
