Leopards Never Change Their Spots
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 place
With lessons learned, yet still forgot
A truth eternal, time can’t erase
A leopard never changes its spots
