Love, Fable

My Friend said to me

I find it so hard to be real with people, because they know that others expect them to be so perfect, and i don't actually mean perfect but practically perfect
My Friends friends say
"Oh such and such never complains" "They are always so Nice"
"Never a Bad Word spoken"

They said to me "I cant be real, because that's not the me they know"

I'm sick of this being the truth, why cant we be real all the time
There are many reasons
Sometimes its a small problem and will go away if we ignore it, sometimes that's true
Sometimes its because we are so sick of dealing with it we just want to ignore it for a while

The last, we cant be real with everyone, we just cant, we don't trust the world enough
We have lost our faith in our fellow man

Satan's winning that one

Why don't i trust my neighbour enough to stay at their place when I'm locked out of mine
When did pleasantries stop being pleasant
When did i loose faith in people

When did people loose faith in me

Lets get back to it people, bbqs in the backyard
Knowing your neighbour
Where is the love
