...original

By ColourGod

originals are everywhere these days
some say
that is how the times will change
others don’t
they’d rather things stay the same
but me
i’m pushing towards the blame
assisting in the game
of instigating shame
to pin it on one name
glorify this frame
to contain
again
the same
one made to be just like the other
forgettable
too hard to be like anybody else
original
remember the days we shared together
tomorrow they will part
and we will find ourselves back
at their start
mending the seams
where they came apart
we’ll sow them back together
but this time more...
