Love

They told me love is blind
I laughed in their face
And got myself a third eye

They said love makes you foolish
I sneered and looked down at them
And got myself a cerebellum oblongata

They said love makes you crazy
I showed them a mad man
And got myself a Psychology certificate

They told me love will hurt you
I showed them a strong man
And got myself a first aid kit

I went into the deep abyss of love
And got drowned in its shallow waters
Because I had no life jacket

Love is everything we don't have!!!
