ALL love is awesome?

ALL LOVE is awesome?

 

Offended.

That’s the word that comes up. “It offends me.”

Love offends you? Seriously?

Back up

My family is offended. “Sin offends me” They sneer.

No. YOU offend ME.

Year after year

Can’t you accept what is? It is love. It is awesome.

Keep it simple. L.O.V.E. It offends you.

As for me, I am not offended by love.

If I can have it, why can’t they?

We all approve of equality, isn’t that true?

I guess that only applies to you.

Hypocrisy isn’t awesome. Love is.

Keep it simple

I grow tired of the hate, it stems from fear

Fear of change, fear of judgement, fear of self

Can’t you hear??

The shouts of joy, the sobs of elation, the signs of love

That covered the nation

It is done, it is finished, there is nothing left to do

Accept what is, keep yourself, to YOU

Love is love, and all types are great

Love who you want, be AWESOME amidst the hate

Written to express my frustration with my family who refuses to accept love. My speaking to them doesnt get it across, maybe another form of communication is necessary to bridge that gap. Also for those who struggle with giving their acceptance of love, it is okay, don't stress, just keep it simple. Love is love. And that is awesome. And leave it at that.
