paper palm

By Deadlights

when you do things for people 
they stay
maybe they would not have stayed 
if you didnt do those things 
sad
when you want others to be happy
in spite of yourself 
mostly
they will stay and more will come
when there are too many
it makes you crazy
and you try to be loved 
by everyone
and the other half
becomes so selfish
no one else matters
then they go away. SSome,
they didnt receive the same treatment
for near as long
people go to hospitals
people die
people go away
and then its calm
sad and calm
until it starts over again
