The shadow of deception

Be careful who you trust
even the sweetest people
can be in disguise

The key to living in true harmony
resides in our ability
to show up authentically.

We shed our skins
so often we don’t know
what’s true or false

Friendly indications;
evil intentions

Behind this facade of
Bonhomie & etiquette,
Lies a serpent,
Waiting to strike,
When your guard is down.
Careful, it’s called diplomacy

The true identity of people
are not physically shown,
that’s why they harbor their darkest parts

‘Frienemies ‘are the usually closest
and pretence is their best tool.

What may be viewed beautiful on the outside
doesn’t mean it isn’t toxic on the inside

When hidden agendas take precedence,
Friendship is replaced with pretence

Look out for the backstabbing snakes,
don’t believe everyone’s your so called friend

Be careful to who you “vent”;
for some spill venom like “serpent”

Even the closest of bonds will critically
slither behind your back

Two venomous monsters
devouring every word of the juicy gossip
that they hungrily seek

Venom can be spewed
from the friendliest places.

Never tell everything you know,
A friend today could be an enemy tomorrow

Gossiping is nothing more than a viper’s den!

We pretend to be ‘friends’ for the society,
but, we are ‘enemies’ in reality

Just a conversation of fake masks that are at venomous task

Fake friends,
false pretences.

Looks can be deceiving. Be careful of who you meet.
