when she came down

the stairs

I saw a path

I could not configure if

I had spied

into the future

or could have even

changed the past but

the young symbols were

there and the song was

real and when my parents

sent me away to live

with my grandparents it

was much simpler than

trying to find out who I was

going to become but

all of life was not a challenge

it was a verification of the

people who watch your back

and the ones who

will not stop torturing you

with undesirable friendship

but the bugs say

don’t praise your enemies

and then you may

survive your friends
