It's as if someone wants you to like him because
You think that he's someone else entirely
Some people mislead and plot so confidently
Violating on a level that's too montrous to see over
Playing you like you were no older
Than that turnip that fell off the truck just yesterday
And you end up telling yourelf that you'd better pray
Once you figure out that it was all deception
And in the end, you're left only with contemplation
When there should be some type of shot to protect you from heartbreak
They've got innoculations for so many other things, for goodness sake
They say life's a stage, but in the end
At least you don't have to pretend
That you didn't enjoy the minute, yet good part
Of the play
Remember that enjoying yourself during a masquerade is an art

Sometimes the deception begins way before the relationship does
It's as if someone wants you to like him because
You think that he's someone else entirely
Some people mislead and plot so confidently
Violating on a level that's too montrous to see over

Than that turnip that fell off the truck just yesterday
And you end up telling yourelf that you'd better pray

wow, i don;t nknow what it is about this poem but i really enjoyed, i think that its becuase it has this sublte scarcasm that was just right for it.

>That you didn't enjoy the minute, yet good part

Those are my favorite lines, or the ones that i thought had literal potence. Good job, and i hope to read more of you work.

virtual.. not real; all these friendships can end in is hurt..they are built on deception.

The title totally threw me, I was expecting humour! this is a very deep and well penned piece.

You have a great talent.
