Real Humans

I love real humans

The ones who lie and cheat

You can look me in my eye

Tell me a story without a blink

 

I'll nod along and grin

And boost your ego as you do

But the person you're really fooling

Is the real person sitting inside of you

 

Don't feel guilty

While we chat

You can tell me the truths

As ugly as they are an eye I'll never bat

 

You say you'd never

But yet you have

What difference does it make

If I know you're a little "bad"

 

To me it's all relative

Don't omit your dark tale

When I find out who you really are

On our friendship I'll never bale

 

I'll be glad to know

That I am not alone

I love people for their flaws

Not for their silicone

 

I love real humans

We are all wired the same

Why should you have to lie

Just to play the game

 

Judgment seems to be the fear

And yes it's very real

If we all knew the real people who lives inside

How would many of us feel?

 

So we lie and say we're Betty Homemaker

When deep inside you're just a faker

 

And whose fault is it?

I blame society absolutely

For we're not allowed to think out loud

Without being attacked brutally

 

Once more I must say I love real humans

As bad and dirty as they may be

It's good to know I'm not the only twisted one

So tell me the truth when you're talking to me

I reread this today and it is quite a testament to those characters out there. Many people find them odd but I look at people and their personalities as life's entertainment.

[Michael G. Smith]

Although, a cynical point of view on people, still this a wonderful poem filled with truth.

[Brandon S. Whitten]

I concur, love to see the real person behind a perfect smile...they're probably dentures. Splendid read and write.

[Jo Todd]

This is absolutely amazing, its so refreshing to read a good honest poem that is about real people, warts and all. All we ever see in the media is perfect people with perfect lives. We live our whole lives feeling disgusting and not realising that everyone else feels the same. We all have our dirty little secrets and we need to realise this, instead of putting the people we believe to be perfect on a pedestal and abasing ourselves at their feet because we do not feel worthy.

[zainul]

What made you write this ugly truth!
It pleases my heart,honest KrystinRuth! :)

[KristynRuth]

A girl I work with inspired me. She had lied about something that I wouldn't have cared about either way and almost 2 months later she was forced to reveal she hadn't told the truth and I didn't even care, I never judge people. I feel like we all probably have out skeletons. :)

[zainul]

I love the way you have exposed our real face.
I can feel your lovely heart and wonderful grace. :)

[KristynRuth]

Sweetly stated

That last stanza is really a standout in this great write. :)

I really enjoyed reading this. What a different place the world would be if we were all just allowed to be us.

[KristynRuth]

Yes it would be! Not sure if it would be for the best or not, but what I wanted to convey is that I don't judge anyone and that you can tell me anything I don't know if I did that but I tried lol
