Cover

Scared people do it;
Mad, and angry individuals as well.
Even con-artist has there ways,
They cover up their true intensions.
Everybody has a reason why they do it,
Whether you like it or not.
It’s a natural reaction to an action,
It comes to some in a slip second while others work at it.
The purpose might be different, but the goal is the same,
To cover up their true intentions.
It doesn’t have a specific gender, or race;
Nor age, or body type anyone can do it.
The end results are always’ why from one end,
And why not from the other,
But its all still to cover up their true intensions.
It’s a shield for emotions, feelings, thoughts,
It hides truth, fact, and evidence.
It allows a person to get away, or out of something,
It acts as barracks and helps to keep others out;
Overall it all does the same covers up their true intention.
