They wear disguises

Hiding behind masks

They fool us by doing simple tasks

Underneath they’re gross

But you go to their dinner parties and make a toast


They laugh and cry but in reality, their feelings are dry

They ask you questions and continue to pry, which leaves you wondering why

They keep their secrets hidden

And their lives are forbidden


They pick and choose what emotions to use

They make you feel bad for them, even when they’re not in the blues

Used and abused

Crying and confused


I think I know now

It left me saying wow

Don’t fall for the lie

They’ll make you want to die

The cause of people’s demises

They wear disguises

I often encounter plastic people who talk to me with one face and about me with another. This is a poem of those monsters under their disguises.
