Realization

Why is it always easier to dwell on the sad times
than to relish in the moments of happiness?
Are we only victims of our own pain,
cursors of our own joy?

I recently told an acquaintance of mine
"Stop looking for your own happiness within others."
I find it odd that I can pick out my own faults in others,
and yet I can't even fix them.

I repeat the same sick cycle of abuse.
Forever allowing people to beat me to the core. 
I feel I will never know acceptance
because I can still never accept myself.

It is easier to let someone hate you
than to allow someone to love you.
Why do I push away those who love me
and cling to those to will never care?
