BITTER TRUTH

Yes! it's true,
People leave when adversity strikes,
When at lows,
That's when no one stands besides,

Yes! it's true,
The promises made are verbal traps,
Those are illusions created to temporarily fill the gaps,

Yes! it's true,
The pretentious are respected,
And the natural ones simply get rejected,

Yes! it's true,
The age of downfall is here,
When the bitter truths die,
And lies survive.
