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
