why must love be lonely ?
to hurt the quiet and shy,
damaging what little self-esteem there be ?
we hunger for it as a newborn babe desires sustenance...
why must we, as humans, strive towards familial ties and couple-dom ?
when all that will happen is two people will meet,
standards will not,
and at least one leaves the encounter crushed,
shattered with the knowledge that she didn’t pass inspection
