Living Among Walking Statues

There are certain people who appear to be normal on the outside like the have it all together. To me, these people remind me of walking statues, that walk around wearing these big genuine ridiculous phony smiles. Once you go beneath the surface, its a whole different world, where silence is mostly spoken. And when you're in their presence which,you'll never know when, or,where that will be. So you must always stay on guard because,they're very observant, and,very crafty in choosing their words wisely, in order not to be detected. And whatever you say, or do,might come back and haunt you. But,this'll all depend on how conduct yourself. At the same time while you're desperately walk on eggshells trying not to slip up. Insanity slowly begins its journey into your mind, torturing you with every passing second, causing extreme sweating and making your heart beat out of control. And as long as you let them see your weakness, they will continue to torture you with their fakness .
