To the Two-Faced

WriteBeLight

You know who I’m talking about.

Have dealt with the type.

They’ve stabbed you in the back.

How do they sleep at night?

 

You’ve helped them out many times,

When they’ve needed a hand.

And cheered for them when down and out,

“You can do it! Yes, you can!”

 

But, yet, when you’re not there,

Slow and steady comes the knife.

Will someone please tell me?

How do they sleep at night?

 

Maybe someone at your work.

Or, your heart have held near.

The explanation is,

It is in you they really fear!

 

You’re talented and gifted,

Do everything well.

As they watch you, so clear,

See their anxiety swell.

 

So, learn from their actions.

Put up a big tall fence.

Coo Coo Nuts! I tell you.

It’s your only defense.

 

Take heart in knowing.

To others done the same.

The approach the two-faced takes.

It’s clear who to blame.

 

The truth is they’re pathetic,

Their only way to fight.

Shake your head at them and say,

“How do you sleep at night?”

            Thanks Augustus. It is just too bad. Used to let them get under my skin. But no more.
