Tell Tales

TELL TALES

In a room filled with whispers and stares,
Judgment hangs heavy in the air.
Are they flawless, oh, I dare to ask,
Or merely masked behind a facade so vast?

Smiles like a mask, eyes tell a different tale,
Their two-faced nature never to unveil.
Beware of those who spin deceitful yarns,
Leading you astray with whispered harms.  

Angels in your presence, demons in disguise,
Their lies sting like a thousand lies.
Your kindness twisted, your goodness denied,
In the realm of tale-tellers, truth often hides.
