Leopards never change their spots.

But they avoid situations that require stripes.

Sometimes they may want to alter their spots.

But the river will never need pipes.

It can only remove the stains from the days.

Making room for the stains of the nights.

Those immortal stains that bring the decay.

A stench that’s so rotten and so right.

Go live another dream in some false harmony.

But don’t give in...

Leopards never change their spots

It’s true

No matter where or who

Genetically determined, lasting, eternal

It’s natural, it’s normal

Huge egos and delusions

Rosettes on their skin…illusions

Huge personalities

The alphas and omegas

It’s beginning to sound like MAGAs

It’s dangerous and hostile in this jungle

You’ll hear them scream and mumble

The greatest cats in the world

Don’t believe wha...

Leopards never change their spots,

And emus don’t walk back.

Human genitals in inkblots,

We take a different tact.

We’re fickle, indecisive,

“Sophisticated” creatures.

We’re typically divisive,

Snap judgements when we meet ya.

Pleasant when it’s to your face,

Loyal to a certain price.

Memories we can’t erase,

We won’t be caught out twice.

Sometimes I wish I were a cat,

Just prowling on my own.

...

This world seems to shine

On you

This world is nice

To you

Your skin like the sun

Your brown hues like the trees

You are the very definition

Of this world

But no one knows

What is hidden in those dark spots

For they can only see your surface

It’s hidden everywhere including your face

Hiding in the dark

You refuse to listen

Hiding in the dark

Is all of your deeds

To get what you want

You wor...

People never change

Is that not strange

Like leopards clothed in spots

They talk, they act, weaving thoughts

Leaving us yet so estranged

A dance where trust is rearranged

In fleeting moments we find our truth

Comfort found in what we know

For in our core lies refrain

A cycle spinning, never lost

With every chance to break the chain

Yet we still bare the heavy cost

In shadows deep, we find our p...

Leopards never change their spots

But maybe they want to

But maybe they don’t

Maybe they’re comfortable in their own skin

In the way I did as a little kid

In the way I can no longer feel...

Leopards never change their spots.

All good things, like love,

They will eventually rot.

If love is unchanging

Like a leopard’s spots,

Won’t it be boring

Until the day it rots?

Love is like a leopard

In the sense that it is only

Mortal.

Its cries for help will not be heard

When its time has finally come:

Love is like a leopard’s spots,

For it too has patterns unique to all

Who happen to bear i...

You are who you are

You are beautiful that way

A stunningly bright star

You are always important with whatever you have to say

You may not be the most intelligent or skilled

You may not be the most athletic or tough

But you are not some hole needing to be filled

You are you, and that is just enough

Some will loathe you and try to weaken you

Out of jealous insecurities or out of gross pleasure

Sa...

**You can’t except a lot from someone who has never been a good part of your plot. No matter what you thought you have to focus on what you got. “You have to give them another shot” is something I’ve never bought, sure I give multiple chances after we fought, but eventually you have to stop getting caught in the middle of their knot.**

Leopards never change their spots

And you can’t teach an old dog new tricks

But I don’t hold my breath until you text me back

And my chest doesn’t ache when I wake up in the morning

I still cry to the same songs

And forget to put on sunscreen

But I don’t hang out with people who make me tired anymore

And now I stay quiet when your name comes up

I get angry

Just as angry as always

And I still fe...
