So Hard To Find

Love can be so hard to find,
I'm on my grind,
distraught.
I make decent money, but
love can be so hard to find.

Booty calls are all I find
confusing my mind,
I seem to always be
one step behind.
I can't find love, so
booty calls are all I find.

Blunt, aggressive, I tell the truth.
I am to cool,
for lame dames that ridicule.
Love can be so cruel..
So I refrain from spitting game, and
Avoid being someones fool...

I strive to find,
but I must be blind,
or last in the line
of loves complex design.
Can someone please explain to me why,
love can be so hard to find....

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen February 1, 2010 at 5:58 AM I'll try, to explain it, Jared. I think it's because life focus has turned from values to pleasure. And getting possessions is an obsession. Individual focus seems to have shifted to "self" And those "Booty calls" you mentioned, take away the mystery of desire... In the past, mostly men 'used" women. These days, it often goes both ways. So, if you want love, give up the "Booty Calls". Go to wholesome places where the girls aren't just after one thing. Then, wait until forever finds you.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen December 8, 2009 at 9:41 AM Jared, Do NOT answer the booty calls. Respect yourself and others. Live life to the fullest. Be yourself...cool or not cool... Skip gossip and ridicule. Avoid fights and solve conflicts in quiet ways. Stop looking for love. When you least expect it, it will find you. (Be sure to be the real you so love will find the real you... no pretenses.) Did I answer your question? May love and joy find you and live with you for a life time. Lovingly, Dane Ann (soup mail)

Linda-Marie Sweetheart December 7, 2009 at 5:53 PM Its all about "timing" my friend, Jared, and being in the right place at the right time.. U are still young enough so don't rush.. she is out there .. just relax... the "booty calls" are to make u see the difference in "momentary" or "for real" ... your heart is good and your attitude attractive... keep that self confidence up and love will come... if u want a taste of what I have just been thru read Switch ON .. Switch OFF .. eyeopener... luv.. Linda-Marie "Sweetheart"

Sara Kendrick December 7, 2009 at 3:32 PM Looking for love in all the wrong places and maybe just look in the right places or let love come to you. Keep the magical pen flowing. Sara

Raul Moreno December 7, 2009 at 11:56 AM Timing is love's game Jared, Like Caroline mentioned, don't settle for less. Raise your standards. Stop browsing the bottom shelf for deals. Love's design is grand and trust me patience has rewards...Raul

Caroline Cécile Delacroix December 7, 2009 at 10:46 AM Love that's true is hard to find. Perhaps you shouldn't be looking so hard, my friend and perhaps you should stop settling for crumbs. The right things come at the right time. Never loose hope and be the great person inside that you are. It's not for no reason your dad is so proud of you. Well written poem. Thanks for sharing, Caroline.

Simone Segal December 7, 2009 at 7:02 AM Open your heart to love and it will find you, love your poem, love Simone
