their hands just get cleaner

Linds M. Crate

i don’t quite smile
the same way
i used to
too many people like you in my life
trying to carve away at who i was
all the secrets i had to hold
so deeply

everyone trying to mold me
shape me
into someone or something else

they have no remorse
for the tears
that have fallen down my cheeks
no,
you cannot get into my heart
not again;

i am stronger
so go ahead and move along—

i doubt that you have ever trembled
afraid and alone
because people don’t see you for the wolf you are
until you gobble down the wrong little riding hood
you’ll probably keep at your game

because men like you
they don’t change their hands just get cleaner
as they learn how to bury the dirt.
