Talking Walls...

Talking Walls...

If the walls could talk, what would they say?

Would there be may people shocked and dismayed,
would friends&family, feel as if they've been played,

Or would people still view you, just as you are,
still with the image of you as a shinning star,

I see several people, wearing abundant masks,
and that is the sole purpose, why I ask,

Some people are as fake as they come,
they lie, cheat, and steal, and think we're just dumb,

In this day and age, peeps aren't what they seem,
they do and say things, because of low self-esteem,
there selfish, manipulating, hypocrites and down right mean,

So if you are one of these mean peeps,
you should be ashamed, with nobody but yourself to blame,
eventually, one of those masks will slip off and
life as you know it, will come to an abrupt STOP!

And if you're the shinning star we all think you are,
then, THANK YOU! at least there's still a few that stand true,

The truth always comes out in the wash, so stay true to yourself
and avoid becoming lost...

Great write.....reminded me of "the writing on the wall"........being truthful and honest has no plan B, Though I do think even shining stars contain some dark spots from time to time.......

I hate people who try to be someone else just for something.
and some people wear masks too.
But only God knows the truth
Beautiful poem!

Its true, the walls see everything you never want people to see. It amazing what people hide, but it will never stay hidden for long. This poem hits the nail on the head. Good work!

the false walls will crumble and the truth like bad wallpaper will peel off the linings of the masks, and those walls will be replaced by others with those they can trust.
eventually hypocrisy will be found out, and we will lose in the end.

love the metaphor used here.
