How Many Faces Have You?
I hate you and hates a not so nice word

How Many Faces Have You?
How many faces have you?
Sly, horrible, a liar.
I hate you, and that’s a strong word.
You wear deceit like a second skin,
each layer more deceptive than the last.
Behind every grin, a dagger;
behind every promise, a trap.
Your eyes, twin voids of falsehood,
reflect nothing but your own deceit.
Each word you utter, a poisoned arrow,
aimed at the heart of trust.
I see through your masquerade,
the shifting masks you wear.
No facade can hide the rot within,
the corruption that defines you.
Your laughter, a relentless clamor of malice,
echoes in the chambers of the gullible.
But I am no longer your fool,
no longer ensnared by your charm.
I stand resolute, unyielding,
against your tide of lies.
For I have found my truth,
and it is a fortress you cannot breach.
