I loved thousands of loves once, I loved the sun, the sky, the rain, the clouds. I loved my family. I loved my pets.     I loved the old couple still in love after fifty years,     I loved the angry driver on the highway who nearly clipped me.    I loved the man on the street asking for help.    I loved everyone and everything,   Until the world told me it was wrong.    Until they told me it was improper and not right,     I had thousands of loves,       and lived without one fight.    The world broke me down, the people I loved, (Rightly), shot down my love. Made it smaller and less like an infinite piece of me.    Everyday I look not for careers, or jobs, or work, I look for my thousands of loves, and hope one day I'll feel whole again.

Thousands of Loves
I loved thousands of loves once, I loved the sun, the sky, the rain, the clouds. I loved my family. I loved my pets.     I loved the old couple still in love after fifty years,     I loved the angry driver on the highway who nearly clipped me.    I loved the man on the street asking for help.    I loved everyone and everything,   Until the world told me it was wrong.    Until they told me it was improper and not right,     I had thousands of loves,       and lived without one fight.    The world broke me down, the people I loved, (Rightly), shot down my love. Made it smaller and less like an infinite piece of me.    Everyday I look not for careers, or jobs, or work, I look for my thousands of loves, and hope one day I'll feel whole again.
