A poem written by Olando Testimony Zeongar
Some find their knight in shining armor with so much ease
Others try fruitlessly even while enduring so much pain and dare not cease
But most times their efforts blow up in vain and go in breeze
Some kiss just one frog and find the love of their life
Others kiss a thousand or more and get hurt as if it was done with a knife
Many a time, the search for love is traveled on a bumpy road filled with strife
We are told not to give up on love
But the truth is, love gives up on us, and drops us way below far from above
Countless romantic pangs often beg the question of the existence of true love
Like a brutal boxer, love batters
Hearts, often than not it shatters
Most times it flatters
Attempts upon attempts, some never get close to finding that special someone
Ending up with just anyone
Which is in a sense better than being with no one
Love is a beautiful thing, but not everyone finds it
Caught on the wrong side, please move on and don’t mournfully sit
This is a cruel world; you win some and lose some, but concede when badly hit.
