Sheathed In Confidence
I sheathed myself back into the holster of confidence to be mocked by envy in disguise.
Envy wore a mask of confidence to shield its true identity from onlookers that naturally wonder and second guess first impressions.
First impressions didn't hold the attention of the tricked heart.
Tricked hearts only see what is shown so if you show them lies they simantainiously break and high tail it to the exit.
The exit is always crowded with the long list of broken followed by the envious all trying to run from their problems when they surface.
The surface is a mine field, every crack, every crevice threatens an explosion that could warrant the exposure of their core.
Their core is often two sides standing adjacent to each other gearing up for a war between flaws and perception.
Flaws are named in the perceptions of the envious and the liars.
Liars have issue with keeping facts straight and all to often step on a mine in a minefield of their own creation, setting forth an explosion that hence exposes their lies.
Their lies knife can not fit in the sheath of confidence, angry much?
