Notes About The Poem

- Disappointed -

Falsehood and lies do no one any benefit
                                           Every lie is a mask
                           with a lie one exposes one's own dignity
                                    Fake people are poor in spirit
                                    In the profile, people are real
                           they don't realize they are being watched
                                    Everyone says they are friends
                                   - naive are those who trust them

Honesty and truthfulness are great virtues where as lies and falsehood distance one from truly genuine people. A very meaningful poem dear Anne.

True friends are always there for you, fake friends only appear when they want something. I like this one…True friends are those who lift you up, when no one else even noticed you were down. The cutest picture ever, Anne-Lise!

- Fake people can speak with a soft and beautiful voice... and "wish you all the best"... they are not always so easy to "see"... but, they do not relate to their own words... "sweet lies" - but a lie is a lie in my eyes... white or black... and I hate it, Anaya - Many thanks for your comment - hugs

Anne-Lise, a powerful poem. Life is full of chameleons. Some are also selfish at the sake of hurting others. I will always forgive others for their actions but never forget.

Anne-Lise, your poem beautifully captures the sorrow that comes with discovering a supposed friend's true nature. The accompanying image also adds to the sentiment. Deceit and falsehood only bring harm to everyone involved. Each lie serves as a disguise that ultimately does not benefit anyone.

It’s terrible to find out that someone you thought was a friend really isn’t, Anne-Lise, and your poem expresses that quite well. Love the picture, too!

Wow! I am shocked by some interviews where people admit they lie all the time and also other shameful things. It is not that any of us are perfect but habits matter and so does character. Love the pic. God bless you, dear one! Hugs ~ Kim
