People change

People change.

You just have to be patient enough

to see the mask fall off

and crumble on the ground,

then it all becomes clear-

shy eyes,shaky lips,

fearful touch,

so frail,so exposed

to the world...

People change.

Sometimes for the better,

sometimes for the worst,

sometimes  they just change

beyond recognition,

beyond love...

People change.

And I don't know whether to pray

or hate,

whether to cry 

or wait,

whether to sink

or swim

in the sea of lies that they feed me.

People change.

I am one of them.
