When their masks fall off,

All that has been hidden,

Is left bare

And our perceptions of people, changes overnight

People often say,

“First impression is the last impression,”

But it is not true

Personalities are sometimes, perceived quite wrongly

Judgments go wrong

At first, people seem to be the best version of themselves

“How can someone be so perfect?”

Our mind ponders over such thoughts.

Until, the masks begin to fall

Personalities are revealed

The malice of their souls, comes out in the light,

Like a harsh sunny day

For those who have never been aware of it

People with two-faces,

On their dark days,

Take off their masks

And that is when the truth unravels.

Negativity that has been accumulated in their soul,

For all these years,

Starts to spill on others

They don’t see who comes their way

And hence, their real versions are seen

What a pity

How hard their lives must be

While they try to be what they are not

And all we can do, is sympathise with these two-faced clowns,

For they have fallen from great positions in our eyes.
