"We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly"
-Sam Keen


We’re all just a part of this nonchalant game,
Plotting revenge, explosives, propane.
Pretending to love and have no shame
All the while, we’re going insane.

Walking in reverse, to the beat of their drum,
Never reaching anywhere, things left undone,
Pouring our hearts out , to those who use,
Becoming so prone, used to abuse.

Hoping for a time, with much more light,
Awaiting in the darkness, on this never-ending night.

The author's comments:
I realize this isn't a great piece of literature.
I've gone through a lot with relationships this last year, and poetry really helps me vent it all out.
