Purity

by Jennifer, age 17, from US

purity is all i've ever wanted
i thought it came with grace
but it did not
grace was just a name of a girl i once knew
i thought it came with passion
but passion lacked truth and honor
passion was a pretty selfish bastard
i thought it came with love
but love is just a word that everyone likes to say
it gets old after a while. (like today)
i dont think i'll ever find purity
