what changed?


at what point a good intention
turned into a slap in the face?
what twisted and curved into us so much
that we see shadows and knives
thrown at us behind words?
when did we become so shielded,
hidden into a cloak of politeness?
who decided that having a smile plastered to your face
is the new accepted norm
and the only measure of a feel good state?
(you do realize this is how hollow hearts and fake smiles are born, right?)
when has it been decided
that our best isn't good enough anymore?
that being the best
means crawling over everybody else's dead bodies
rather than being better than you were yesterday?
when did we forget to simply talk to each other
without accusing or assuming the worst,
without advising, coaching or mentoring?
when did we start to believe that we're vital and irreplaceable?
when did we become gods?
why do we want to save people
that don't need saving?

stop trying to fix me
I am not broken!
