Dime

Too many people wear a mask,
Choking on emotions
and hiding them too fast.
It saddens me to see
the way the world
is forcing us to be.
There are many people
I just want to hold,
and make them less feeble.
But such a desire won't be met
because once fate has it's target,
the path is already set.
Bad things happen to good people,
and vice versa sometimes too
while the universe will push and pull.
But if I got paid every damn time
I saw something like that happen,
I'd have a lot of fucking dimes.
