it is easy to love
when you aren't loving yourself
so many flaws that can't be overlooked
in the pursuit of being and doing better
love that ends up emptied into another soul

the undermined power of this little factor
is all that's needed
to set boundaries
to find a voice
to build happiness  
and hope for the future

a power that is easily savoured
and easy to get lost in its pursuit
a pursuit that can turn into a wander
with a deep compassionate soul

a self taught power
that has to be taken not gifted
free and important
but hard to master
