Role Model
years ago
i saw you
in the grass
under the sun
i wanted to
wrap my arms
around your leg
and shoot you
with a water gun
but you
unlike many
didn’t like little hugs.
you
unlike many
didn’t beg for love
we wished
that one day
you’d change your mind
then we wished
that one day
you’d show us
what’s hiding
behind your happy eyes.
you did
but you waited
until we could comprehend
that role models
are only role models
when they aren’t your friend.
-be careful what you wish for
