sugar coated people,
we all are,
dressed up in cloaks,
cloaks of sweet words,
uttered by cherry lips,

we are just humans,
on the outside,

with our brutal eyes,
hiding our darkside,
it's not that,
i just am,
or you just are,
the bitter truth is,
we all are...........

raindrops crash across the tin roof

while her mouth issues sweet, soothing music

and the cars pass slowly

There is a double standard in this world.
One that tells us too much honesty is evil, but to little is insidious.
How can we adhere to the demands of the world?

We can’t.

We lie to be honest, but to be honest is to lie.
Honestly, we should all just hope that these double standards die.
