HardTruths

If I have learned 
anything at all ever 
it’s that at the 
beginning of almost everything 
we are what we
wish someone else was
that’s often called hope

onto another we ourselves 
we want what we 
are and nothing else 
and then over time 
when it’s too late 
we learn the truth 
that no matter how 
they will never be 
and neither we them
