Deception

"Deception, Disgrace"

Trust is something that we all lose,
There is always that one person who ruins it for you.

You put everything on the line,
Just for them to push you off.

This is, Deception.

Nothing but a Trickery,
That soothes their hunger for others misery.

They are the bottom of a pit,
That holds sharp rocks,
Ready to penetrate your flesh.

All that is needed,
is one tiny slip,

Then you are spiraling down,
getting closer to the torment at the bottom.

This is the true nature of humans,
Greedy and selfish.

Always ready to deceive you,
when you no longer benefit them.




"Evil as plain as the scar on his face"
~Lion King 2

Greed and selfishness will cause the person to achieve such deceptions.. Those trickories of the heartless souls, make it harder to believe the next ones to who really needs the help and to trust to help you. Put them through a test. Tell people before you hang out, you have very little money and or no money at all. But still pay your own things and way. That shall let you know who is trust worthy as a friend or not, or wait is that for relationships? lol Anyways, another nice poem.

So true, I agree...wonderfully written, as always =)

Haha this is great. Truth hurts right? I guess it's part of reality and a chapter in everyone's life where we discover we don't live in this magical perfect place. And that some people just aren't here for good, they're here to take away and hurt others because they've been hurt themselves or they come from a dark place. Evil is contagious and lurks like that of a disease. Taking over slowly. This is a poem of absolute truth in stone. I like this. No I love this. Thank you.

The truth isn't sad though! It's empowering!

Rough read, this is something we all go through at time or another it seems, since as you say it's human nature, to deceive but also to trust...after a time, we break down, there's only so many times you can recover from those jagged rocks waiting at the bottom, those are more than flesh wounds, they stay with you long after the scar is no longer noticeable. Nice write.

i reread this...wow...and related on yet another level...

one person ruined it for me...but then two others simply obliterated it...
it has been really hard to get back.

Very honest expression.
You must have been deceived by someone and thus such an amazing piece emerged.
I adore your great work.

Very true words, and a brilliant way you conveyed the meaning of trust. I think we all have felt this at some point in our lives.
Great poem!

As there are sharks in the sea there are such things in our own lives.Not all men are this way not all women either. It is sad that with the invention of social media we have the facade of thousands of friends that really are acquaintances. My son once broke up with a girl through texting .To which i made him go to her house and talk to her about it.We injure others without care in the cyber world.As if we could turn them off when we are done playing with them.People arent like that in real life .When we make someone cry we need to face them and see and feel the tears we called down on them.

Yes some people are not like that in real life, but this poem is about a man who my mother worked for four years back, he was doing some illegal things and so my mom left. Once she left his business went in the gutter, now he is going after her for stuff she never did. He is done using her for what he wants but now he is trying to gain revenge, hence the "Always ready to deceive you,
when you no longer benefit them."

Part of the poem. She is not in custody waiting to be transported to a different state for the trile. Even though some people don't do this that dose not mean we all don't have it in us to do such things.

Sad the way people treat one another isnt it

[Terohime]

It is indeed.

[Terohime]

It is very sad, i don't understand as to why some people need others' misery to survive.
