#frauds - Hello Poetry

To quote Athos from "The Three Musketeers" "You are not a woman You are a demon escaped from Hell" When I first met you as a colleague I made the mistake Of getting friendly with you When I should have ensured That our relationship was going to be strictly professional Of course, you had your own ways Of charming those whom you came in contact with That is something for which I have to give you credit Albeit grudgingly And you were an expert At playing the victim card Nevertheless, after I changed jobs I thought I had seen the last of you However, you came back into my life As unexpectedly as the recent rains in Chennai Initially, it seemed kind of sweet However, I should have realised sooner That you had certain ulterior motives Unfortunately, I got fooled by your sweet talk And started helping you financially Because you looked up to me as a brother I never doubted you in the slightest Which was probably the biggest mistake of my life You took advantage of me In the worst way possible And kept draining my bank account Your lies kept getting taller and taller And I kept believing them Because, you had me well and truly under your thumb However, even the most credulous person in the world Can develop suspicions at some stage Thus, after years of being in a psychological coma I finally managed to wake up to the harsh reality And told my family everything Of course, with the help of a dear family friend After we finally confronted you You signed a written agreement Promising to return all my money Within a certain deadline That deadline has long since passed And you have not paid even ten percent of your dues What is worse Is the fact that you are absconding And giving absolutely nonsensical reasons Which even an utter fool would find it difficult to believe You ruined my life Destroyed my happiness And shattered my self-confidence Is this the way you treat a person Whom you have addressed as "brother" Not once, not twice, but several times? I am giving you one last chance Not for your sake But for the sake of humanity You had better take it Because, if not Then you will soon find yourself in prison Again, to quote Athos "You are not a woman You are a demon escaped from Hell"

You Are Not A Woman

To quote Athos from "The Three Musketeers" "You are not a woman You are a demon escaped from Hell" When I first met you as a colleague I made the mistake Of getting friendly with you When I should have ensured That our relationship was going to be strictly professional Of course, you had your own ways Of charming those whom you came in contact with That is something for which I have to give you credit Albeit grudgingly And you were an expert At playing the victim card Nevertheless, after I changed jobs I thought I had seen the last of you However, you came back into my life As unexpectedly as the recent rains in Chennai Initially, it seemed kind of sweet However, I should have realised sooner That you had certain ulterior motives Unfortunately, I got fooled by your sweet talk And started helping you financially Because you looked up to me as a brother I never doubted you in the slightest Which was probably the biggest mistake of my life You took advantage of me In the worst way possible And kept draining my bank account Your lies kept getting taller and taller And I kept believing them Because, you had me well and truly under your thumb However, even the most credulous person in the world Can develop suspicions at some stage Thus, after years of being in a psychological coma I finally managed to wake up to the harsh reality And told my family everything Of course, with the help of a dear family friend After we finally confronted you You signed a written agreement Promising to return all my money Within a certain deadline That deadline has long since passed And you have not paid even ten percent of your dues What is worse Is the fact that you are absconding And giving absolutely nonsensical reasons Which even an utter fool would find it difficult to believe You ruined my life Destroyed my happiness And shattered my self-confidence Is this the way you treat a person Whom you have addressed as "brother" Not once, not twice, but several times?

You wanted me to be your brother To be a part of your extended family I believed you Since you seemed sincere enough And got along well with most people Thanks to your lively nature And the dedication you seemed to show As far as your work was concerned I was in awe Of the way you managed your life Juggling work and studies every single day And yet managing to keep a smile on your face I should have got an inkling That there was something amiss However, thanks to my ignorance Induced by my autism And because you played your part so well I never got to see your true colours Until it was almost too late You wanted me to be your brother And I was indeed a good brother I was always there for you But never did I imagine That you would take advantage of me In such a callous and audacious manner When you had that rather painful shoe bite I took care of you Even though my other colleagues advised me against it But you were never truly grateful In fact, you kept your distance And came up with a silly sob story To prevent me from interacting with you at office I should have realised by then What kind of a person you really were Then again, I was woefully naive And only wanted you to be happy Even if it killed me from inside You wanted me to be your brother Well, I did my part But you never did yours When I first started helping you financially I was doing it because I truly cared about you And had a strong belief That you would repay your dues eventually Once again, like always I was horribly wrong You came up with story after story And I kept believing you Thanks to my incredibly credulous nature And thus ended up draining my own bank balance You wanted me to be your brother Except that, instead of being your brother I ended up being your sugar daddy But then, like my mother said later I was in a trance And thus became your ATM I have to admit, though That you were a really good actress Modulating your voice To a mere shadow of what it usually would be In order to induce me to believe That you were suffering from blood infection Just one out of hundreds of lies That came out of your pathetic mouth You wanted me to be your brother Except that a true sister does not lie or cheat That too, not once Not twice Not even thrice But a thousand times You have absolutely no idea How you've ruined my life And brought distress to my family As well as a very close friend of mine Through your utterly despicable actions You wanted me to be your brother And it was the biggest mistake of my life To take you seriously You even had the nerve To make me travel for 16 km In the hot sun Right in the middle of summer In order to meet you Just so that I could keep trusting you Or rather, keep getting fooled by your lies and half-truths You wanted me to be your brother But you lied to me all the time And cheated me of my entire savings After all that you've done You still have the nerve To beg for my sympathy You are a disgrace to women In fact, a disgrace to the entire human race Even ISIS is far more worth sympathising with Than you will ever be!! Well, I would have ideally wanted you to suffer In the most painful manner possible But I need you to return all that you took I don't care how you do it Do it, and we can go our own separate ways I can forget that you exist, and vice-versa But until you do it I will always be your biggest nightmare In this entire planet When I am good, I am very good But when I am bad, I am the worst So, you had better watch out My so-called sister

You Wanted Me To Be Your Brother

You wanted me to be your brother To be a part of your extended family I believed you Since you seemed sincere enough And got along well with most people Thanks to your lively nature And the dedication you seemed to show As far as your work was concerned I was in awe Of the way you managed your life Juggling work and studies every single day And yet managing to keep a smile on your face I should have got an inkling That there was something amiss However, thanks to my ignorance Induced by my autism And because you played your part so well I never got to see your true colours Until it was almost too late You wanted me to be your brother And I was indeed a good brother I was always there for you But never did I imagine That you would take advantage of me In such a callous and audacious manner When you had that rather painful shoe bite I took care of you Even though my other colleagues advised me against it But you were never truly grateful In fact, you kept your distance And came up with a silly sob story To prevent me from interacting with you at office I should have realised by then What kind of a person you really were Then again, I was woefully naive And only wanted you to be happy Even if it killed me from inside You wanted me to be your brother Well, I did my part But you never did yours When I first started helping you financially I was doing it because I truly cared about you And had a strong belief That you would repay your dues eventually Once again, like always I was horribly wrong You came up with story after story And I kept believing you Thanks to my incredibly credulous nature And thus ended up draining my own bank balance You wanted me to be your brother Except that, instead of being your brother I ended up being your sugar daddy But then, like my mother said later I was in a trance And thus became your ATM I have to admit, though That you were a really good actress Modulating your voice To a mere shadow of what it usually would be In order to induce me to believe That you were suffering from blood infection Just one out of hundreds of lies That came out of your pathetic mouth You wanted me to be your brother Except that a true sister does not lie or cheat That too, not once Not twice Not even thrice But a thousand times You have absolutely no idea How you've ruined my life And brought distress to my family As well as a very close friend of mine Through your utterly despicable actions You wanted me to be your brother And it was the biggest mistake of my life To take you seriously You even had the nerve To make me travel for 16 km In the hot sun Right in the middle of summer In order to meet you Just so that I could keep trusting you Or rather, keep getting fooled by your lies and half-truths You wanted me to be your brother But you lied to me all the time And cheated me of my entire savings After all that you've done You still have the nerve To beg for my sympathy You are a disgrace to women In fact, a disgrace to the entire human race Even ISIS is far more worth sympathising with Than you will ever be!!

I prefer to have only one true friend than ten million frauds To fall a million times than to never try at all Rather lose with honor than win by breaking rules Be hated for person I truly am that celebrated for a disguise I pick reality over rose-hued ruses

Everyday we get "closer," you and me, Whoever you may seem to really be, I'm promised I've got a future and such, You wont seem to be "bothered too much," If I just listen well I'll make the part, This life will be perfect, a "piece of art." As the years role by I never care to listen, The days get longer. You're on your mission. It's this strange idea you hold some esteem, To be the one who will somehow teach me, If I just listen you'll let me be, you'll see! But it just doesn't seem to get through, No matter how much guilt you see I'm never going to be conned by you. All through my life they've played make-believe, What they plan to do once they've gotten through to me, I'm always on the receiving end, a small hopeless waste, I've got to be shown how bad I am-what a disgrace! I'll never listen until the day I die, MY WHOLE LIFE, Almost anyone-if not everyone-is a total stinking lie!!!

The vampires come in at night, they do not warn you, do not cause a fright. But while you lay asleep in your bed, they set up a facade, inside your head. Within this idea there blooms happiness, ******* in the light, creating an abyss. But you overlook the abyss for the gleam, from which the sun gives you, or so it seems. As you step closer to get more light, one wrong move, and you have a fright. For you are now falling into the abyss, went to close, missed out on fortunes kiss. And when you wake there is no one there, the vampires have left, leaving you in despair. You find yourself alone in your room, soon to be taken, all too soon. You thought you could live on like this, ******* in light, walking into the abyss. But life does not work with such innocence, you will be ****** dry, within an instance. So keep the wooden stake in bed, keep one eye open, or you will be dead.
