True Colors
Some people are nice
To look at from a distance but when you get closer you'll see how flawed they are
You see their crack and their brokenness
their vulnerability and weakness
Some are good at keeping
A nice facade but beyond the mask they wear their true colors show
Their darkness comes out from the place they hide
With little provocation or annoyances
Their nature can't be kept for so long
Don't be fooled by their sweet talk
Some are good at sugar coating their words
They have mastered the art of pretending
They love playing games
They love chasing and being chased
Stay out of such people
Learn to read and feel the vibe they give
"All that glitters is not gold"

This is is a different kind of ink for you Summer
You describe my world
I'm wary of everyone until proven innocent
This poem has grit

Thank you PS. Sometimes we need to be wary to protect ourselves from wolves in sheeps' clothings :-)

Sometimes you get lucky -- it's nice is if their true colors are pretty.
I like the simple honesty of this poem.

Intuition is imperative for survival in our world. We definitely have it for a reason, Summer. This felt cathartic to me.

You could say your message applies to politicians also. When they want your vote, they'll talk to you & maybe even hold the door open for you as well; especially the union reps were I work anyway, lol.
Your poem is very true & relatable to many facets of human nature.

This reminds me of why i like dating women who don't wear make-up or very little
I always want to see them as they are and not have to wait for the next morning.
Always trust Your intuition
if it doesn't FEEL right
it probably is not
