Humans are becoming
shallower than pools,
dedicating their lives
to making others feel like fools.
Picking and poking
at one another’s imperfections
and failing to make
lasting connections.
So many fish in the sea,
yet we’re all too fixated
On each others insecurities.
To find love when the world is dim,
hope in the arms of another
is a chance to begin again.
Unconditional love,
the rarest of them all,
the love we freely give as children,
Before people make us feel small.
In times like today when self is priority,
loving someone for who they are
is something we all need.
To embrace the parts of us,
that don’t fit the norm
and ride through the lightning
when life becomes a storm.
