Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

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

Valsa George May 28, 2023 at 6:33 AM Honesty and truthfulness are great virtues where as lies and falsehood distance one from truly genuine people. A very meaningful poem dear Anne. Anne-Lise Andresen May 28, 2023 at 10:16 AM - Many thanks for your comment, Valsa :) - I have been taught from my childhood to stick to the truth - hugs

Tom Cunningham May 27, 2023 at 9:58 PM We encounter many like that as we tread lifes path, they are best avoided. It was great to meet you the other day, a memory I'll cherish forever. Got back yesterday afternoon, Norway is one beautiful country Anne-Lise. Tom Anne-Lise Andresen May 27, 2023 at 10:09 PM - I am so glad that true friends exist, Tom - It was great to meet you and your wife ... a wonderful day that I will never forget ... many thanks, Tom ... I am glad you are enjoying my homeland - although the weather could have been better - Next time you must stay a little longer :) - hugs

I Am Anaya May 27, 2023 at 7:27 PM 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! Anne-Lise Andresen May 27, 2023 at 9:22 PM - 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

Tania Kitchin May 27, 2023 at 3:58 PM 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 Andresen May 27, 2023 at 8:59 PM - Yes, it's true, life is full of chameleons ... I find it easy to forgive ... but it's not forgotten ... the friendship has ended from my side ... I don't tolerate lies ... it smells rotten, Tania - Many thanks for your comment - hugs

Panagiota Romios May 27, 2023 at 3:24 PM Boy, how trusting we are,,zThen, crunch. Your friends like vampires suck your blood And destroy you at this site! But you matter, Karma smacks down liars very hard,)))They pose as your friends, but cervind them gone busy destroying other people here or other places. I called in sick., just let it go and be the wonderful person you are..Pangie Anne-Lise Andresen May 27, 2023 at 8:51 PM - I choose to stay away from people who don't deal with the truth ... the friendship is over, Pangie -

Sotto Poet May 27, 2023 at 2:12 PM 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. Anne-Lise Andresen May 27, 2023 at 9:14 PM - True, Las ... people who can't speak the truth...should shut their mouths...I've kept my mouth shut for a long time...disappointed...but not the end of the world...the weeds must leave my garden - Many thanks for your comment - hugs

Mystic Rose Rose May 27, 2023 at 12:04 PM there are friends and then there are friends, sometimes our hearts know the difference instantly other times we learn through experience, what a wonderful reminder you give us today Sunshine. I feel blessed to have a few real stars in my sky, the rest dont' matter , just passer by love xo Anne-Lise Andresen May 27, 2023 at 9:03 PM - I'm happy for "every star" that shines here on the soup, Vie Rose ... some are real ... some not ... but, we all know that :) - Many thanks for your comment - hugs

Ilene Bauer May 27, 2023 at 9:39 AM 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! Anne-Lise Andresen May 27, 2023 at 8:54 PM - No friendship can blossom or grow on falsehood and lies, Ilene :) - Many thanks for your comment - hugs

Kim Rodrigues May 27, 2023 at 6:37 AM 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 Anne-Lise Andresen May 27, 2023 at 7:15 AM - You said what I didn't say, Kim… some even admit they are lying !!! … and just move on … you hit the nail on the head - Many thanks for your comment - hugs
