why do we feel
the need
to put
expectations
on love
we don't need to be
(or give something)
to be deserving of
a simple
smile
or a hug
to find ourselves
acknowledged
giving what
you
want to get
back
is as good
a keeping
a
promise
the dignity
of
another
is as
precious
as gold
no matter what
you've seen
or what
you might have
been
told
it is
human nature
to crave
and desire
to belong
we're all
a part of this
chorus
a special part of
a song
so sing the things
that
you feel
shout it out
up
into the air
give a little
bit of your heart
and show
someone else
that you
care
it doesn't take money
or fame
to
discover
the best ways
to love
is
being kind
to
each other

💌 I wish I knew why we would put expectations, on that of all things. - I too, am getting tired of needing to be something, and needing to give something, to be worthy or deserving... 💌 Promises can be broken... - love the unexpected rhymes and the shorter lines. 💌 That is both poetic and sweet. ' we are all apart of this chorus' 👌🏾 - we will shout it out 💌 I like showing people around me, that I care. - I agree with the ending. Such a beautiful reminder. Fantastic work as always, Kelli 🤗 ❤️ 🖤
hi-ki - It brings to mind that the worlds chorus of late is tone deaf. Best, j.k.in.la.
