just between me and you

there are secrets inside of people
secrets they are afraid might swim from their belly to their eyes
and you'll see it and know they are hiding something
so i guess just assume everyone is hiding something
just assume everyone is relieved to see you accept them
even though they think about suicide or murder
or feel good about doing something horrendous
or regret something innocent

just assume everyone is the worst person in the world
putting on a show

assume everyone you'll see today knows they're just a bag of meat and bones roaming aimlessly
having absurd fantasies about absurd luxuries
pursuing dreams that aren't theirs for reasons unknown
achieving goals measured in bizarre currency
being rewarded with irrelevant debris

assume all of this
and forgive them

constantly forgive them
or you become them
