if you get me, 'mary'.

its always the distance that sets us apart-
that literal measure of how far one is from another, at times due t the slight hindrance of a fogging rumour, the disbelief of one's ability t change/mature, or a subconcious observation that shaped into a seemingly 'general' stereotype, maybe the the figurative extension of the parents' body length-forming a path so long it seems mental just attempting t take that one little step- or of course, the metaphorical distance of futuristic goals and -on a more present note- schoolwork.

but more often than not, you find that its all in your head, for the eyes see what the mind seeks; its actually a little more beautiful than you thought it t be. And, a little 'closer' t the heart.
People change, and sometimes,
all it takes is t believe.
