What is Love Really?


Love is a strange thing

It is not perfect

Nor is it elegant,

As many seem to believe

Love is often borne of hate

Or it is borne through friendship

The road to love is very scary

It’s full of bumps,

Rigged with traps,

And choked with troubles,

And yet

If the love is real

It will endure the hardships

And it will always prevail

I am a high school student at a small school, I've been through a lot so far throughout my life, but there are three things that I normally write about: I write about the depression that I battle every day and often lose to, and I write about the two women that I've fallen in love with, both of which left, and I'm never going to see either one again. If you like my writings, please e-mail me at [email protected]. It helps to know when people enjoy or relate to the things that I write.
