Spots

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 work fast

Oh so stubborn

Was this world really yours to govern?



Deeds you wanted to hide

Were you only pretending not to know them?

Now I know and how could I not?

Leopards never change their spots
