From The Stain on My Kicks...To You

From The Stain on My Kicks...To You

A Poem by Pegs Van Damme

I want to learn
to love everything.

to love
the new stain on my new kicks
so that i can see that even the prettiest things
lose their facade.

And when they do,
everything else i loved about them
begins to show through.

to love
the nasty scratch on my thigh
so that i can match it
with the memory of a slide tackle to save everyone's life.

cus when i do
I remember it too,
the time I won, and I stood on top of the world.

to love
her, even though she doesn't love me.
So that my love learns
to love despite it all.

cus when i find the right thing
I wont give up easy.

I want to learn to love everything.

So that i can love you.
