what are you here for?


sorry, but i can't.

I can't laugh with some stranger that i don't know well, and maybe will only lead me to danger. 

But yet here i stand before you knowing well that deep in my gut you are here for something.

You are here, not to bond but to fond over the thought of revenge.

I might be wrong but I'm taking my chances and risk acting like a mong.

So, should i do such to figure out your unknown wants? Should i smile?  Should i fake wanting to take that mile or cut to the chase by being direct?

What are you here for, really?
