We all leave marks
Big or small we affect someone
Making them change a little
And be a different person
Maybe not by a lot
But it’s still a change
Never will go
But the mark will fade
And be forgotten
Changed by another person
You forget the other that had left you
Earlier in life
You were a lot more different
Changing everyday
Made from others
You can’t help but change
With the environment around you
Everyone is made by others
Their marks making a picture of you
The portrait changes everyday
Improving
Or making it worse
But it’s you
Your friends and the people you meet change you
Even if you don’t want them to
They color the portrait
Of your life
