from my new piece "World of Love"

"I’ve got the new weight loss fad
self help ad
improvement plan
and wonder drug
It’s called LOVE
and the best part
you’ve always had it
you just fell victim to some bad habits
maybe you’ve watched the news
became apathetic and confused
let other people get to you
but I’m here to address it
with the sweetest confession
there is another way
and those of you who say love is just a cliché
haven’t loved today
you’ve given yourself away”
