You Are Only Fooling Yourself

Sometimes it takes awhile before a

"Snake"

sheds it's skin

and we see the real lizard inside.

There is a reason,

that throughout history,

mankind has used the snake as the symbol of evil.

When someone stabs you in the back,

we call them,

"A snake in the grass."

Why?

Because they can be right in front of you,

but you don't know who the person really is until they bite you.

That can be a problem,

when somebody re-enters your life,

after many years of being away,

and all you know about them is how they were in your past.

People change,

and not always for the best.

Someone has recently,

oh,

maybe three to four months ago,

entered our lives

and pretended to be the same person we once knew.

Or,

because we always liked this person,

we tried to remember her fondly.

But after spending time with them again,

her true spots began to show.

I hope this person hasn't lost the trust

and love of her family,

because life tastes pretty bitter when you get older,

and there is no longer anyone who will trust you

or be your friend.

This is,

The Cautious,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”

- Bob Marley -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
