One
who is possessive of Love
is nothing shy
of Narcissistic:
for,
what is selfish Love
but externalized vanity?
Love
lets 'as is' be.
Not because it yields or compromises,
but because it knows
that to alter another
for oneself
is a form of vanity.
True Love
is unconditional.
Which, itself, seems uncaring.
But, quite the opposite is true.
You must change yourself instead.
Have the courage to be your own control group.
Otherwise:
get in whichever over-generalized, socially acceptable line
suits you best
and wait your turn
in somebody else's
rigged game.
