I'm Allergic To Hay, But I Gotta Find That Needle

I'm Allergic To Hay, But I Gotta Find That Needle

A Poem by jumbie's #1 fan
"

love is a crazy, horrible, amazing, irritating, painful concept. can you take the bad with the good? is it worth it?

"

An ocean's waves are crashing off into the distance

A girl's heart is being crushed

A man has lost his wife

Sometimes this life can be too much

Despair

Rage

Terror

Sadness

How do we cope

Is it really love

That keeps us sustained

Because that's what they tell us

Life isn't worth living if you're not loving

Is it true

Is that the real deal?

Because I'm just not sure

What about those of us

Who don't find love

Who spend our entire lives

Searching for the one thing

That we're just not meant to have?

Or is everyone supposed to be loved

What about the ones who get the sour end of the deal

Is it their fault

What did they do

To be cheated out of the

Supposed one thing that sustains us

They go on living their lives

Not loving

Not being loved

Because it simply was not meant to happen

How is that fair?

It's not.

And how do you know if you aren't one of them

Not destined for love

Not destined for sustainment

So if a life without love isn't worth living

Then why don't we kill ourselves now?

Why put yourself through the stress

The pain

The hope

When it's not meant to be

And how do you know it's not meant to be for you?

I mean,

What's the breaking point

Because the truth is

More people every day give up on love

More people have more faith in a lottery ticket

Than finding love

So now our generation

Is loving less

And dying more

What a world

What a sad thought

What truth.

 

When will it be enough? When will we give up?

 

When will you give up?

 

Is the hope of finding love

Worth all the pain and heartbreak that comes with

Because searching for a needle in haystack seems impossible

But when you find it

You realize how much you needed it

And how lost you were without it before.
