Love isn't always Beautiful

It’s full of pain and sacrifice, plain Jane and lame dudes 

Enslaved to the thought brought upon you by the established social norms 

Love can even grow horns, demonized by the bitterness of one’s own soul 

Love isn’t always beautiful 

It waxes and wanes like the moon undecided on what it truly wants to do 

Shadowed by misguided souls and conquered minds 

Shrouded in the mysteries of sexuality 

Love isn’t always beautiful 

To truly understand the complexities of love 

You have to travel a lonely road, build within yourself the confidence to love unconditionally 

Not be defined by signs, minds or material finds 

Love isn’t always beautiful 

It waxes and wanes like the enigma that is the moon 

Like the tides of the mighty ocean it comes and goes 

Love is energy, never dying only transferring and growing more powerful with more understanding 

Love isn’t always beautiful 

If you think it is 

You aren’t truly ready for the rollercoaster ride that is 

Love
