Loves Bounty

Love has set a bounty y’all love has set a bounty for us all When love finds you it finds you naked and afraid Or armored and courageous …it’ll find you in your different ways Yet still, none of us are prepared Most of us are the former not the latter Filling our day with things that don’t matter Like we have an inclination for conversations that sound like chatter with awkward laughter It’s like taking a shower in baby powder or with soap that doesn’t lather We know love is out there …looking for us We keep our heads down hoping not to catch its eye…why? Cause we’re not ready No not so soon We’re not ready to close those new wounds cuz they take attention away from those old wounds And the journey we’d have to go threw is so new… And new is scary… Mostly because we don’t know if it means we’ll have to admit I’m not good at something Ohhh I was gonna get it together eventually I’m not as put together as I’m meant to be Or that everything is not as together as It pretends to be Still…love has a bounty for you When it comes to collect It don’t care about your regret It doesn’t care about your intellect Or Your introspect It marches through harsh environments To the drum of love songs you’re admiring and inspired with all the while tireless You can’t hire it You can’t fire it I just told you!! It literally matches to its own tune It is undying and unyielding It is protective and faith healing And we run and we run and run And we make excuses that’s useless Creating more contusions and confusion to ourselves and others Love has set a bounty yall and it’s a relentless motherphukah
