They Will Ask Questions

They’ll ask you questions Hoping for a certain answer. They will seduce you By feigning interest. They say things like, “I hate to ask this, but”, They do not mean it. They want to watch you squirm. They are addicted to the real Life experiences of others Since they cannot bear to share Their own lives with us. They will reach into your head, Hoping to find your soul. They will make assumptions Based on what they think you said. They will show intrigue And sit on the edge of their seats, Waiting for a line To hang you with later. Only then, after they find out what Inspired you in the first place. A similarity between your past and the present, They will throw up Their hands, In shock and dismay And rush to conclusions To “quote” you.
