#accommodating
How can I find the strength
to stand on bruised feet
when the path before me
is a smudge of inky terror
in the horizon
growing in its menace and might
twisting and spiraling
like a lifeless snake
that was stretched from its skin
to accommodate others.

most people
do not want to hear
views different from their own
so
though you think otherwise
if you want something from them
love attention business money ***
you tell them what they like to hear
to fill their needs
to please
yet
after a while
you recognize
that with each time
you cater to the needs of others
you give away
a part of your integrity
and that you better
watch out carefully
lest you become
no more
than
a caleidoscopce
of their reflected selves
