Walks through the door
Down the hallway
To the intersection
To lean on the wall
The bell rings
Everyone goes to separate rooms
Doors close
And then it starts
They put on their masks
Similar faces
Painted smiles
Same words
Those words form lies
Lies told of and about
Told of them
By them
About them
All created by them
They live and breathe
Oh these wicked lies
Grow and destroy
The smaller and weak
But only one can really hurt
And that is the lie of the mind games
This one has been living and growing
For years on end
And no one can destroy it
It starts off as a rumor
He says this, she says that
Small and ignorant to pain
Then it gets worse
It spreads like wildfire
In a forest of gasoline
Until in explodes
Like the volcano that has
Been built up on this mountain of lies
The burning anger and sadness
Has funneled its way up
Into a red, burning passion
Of hate and misery
But at that point
It’s beyond late
Apologies can’t help
Nor putting a stop to the fire
It has gone to far
Because of them
This soul put down their guard
And believed
And was happy
But because this false sense of security
This person is no longer themselves
They lost their true self
Getting sucked into this
Dark pit of lies
And getting spit back out
As someone else
Looking different
Acting and speaking different
Different is and understatement
They destroyed their life
And didn’t even care
They destroyed without
Even blinking
But what is expected of these
Pitiful, lowlife, miserable people?
Nothing but a masquerade
Of everything being covered
In silk and glow
But if unmasked
Everything is revealed
They are snakes
Only trying to benefit themselves
