in human nature

an older poem of mine from 2007

lie manipulate distort while having intentions of positive personal selfish greed
friends
needing what they want saying what needs to be said lying under a mask
using you

and once youre spent,
they will discard you
blacken memories
as if you were nothing to them now
except forgotten trash
happily thrown out.

//afterwards,
you might start to believe them\\

so curl up in a ball
tuck yourself under
recycle your past
and pretend that youve surrendered
your intentions
forever
