You tell me I’m not good enough,
That I must criticize every flaw,
You show me with corrective action,
Love is purely conditional,
That I only have one chance
To do it right and if I fail,
You’ll make it right.
But love is not dependent
On perfection of me or you,
It should be freely given,
As no one is infallible.
I choose to make a difference
To only love today,
Instead of giving my inner bully
A voice to erode life away,
With unending negativity.
To withhold the ugly comments,
The expressions of displeasure,
That lead others to defeat,
Of ever holding up to my itinerary.
Only love will be my intention,
To be spread unconditionality.
