Before and After

I walk forward
I march ahead
I try hard each day
Then again someone will ask
“Didn’t you have long hair before?”
I did , I did 
A before and an after
There always will be.
I console my self
I seek comfort
Sometimes I lie
And hide from the truth.
Pretend it never happened,
Pretend it was never there,
Then again someone will ask
” didn’t you have long hair before?”
I did , I did
A before and an after
There always will be 
Life expects more
More from us than others
Bravery, courage, right attitude
Every day 
We are different
A tangent that our lives
Have taken
In and out of the flow
Pretending
To be
One of them until
Some one will ask again
“Didn’t you used to have long hair”
