Beneath the Guise

 Beneath the Guise


(Dedicated to my dearest Frenemy whose name is hidden in the poem itself)


A Viper of deceit,

With Apostate heart,

Imposter of truth,

And Swindler's art.


A master of Humbug of words,

With Nefarious intent,

Artful in manipulation,

A Vile casanova bent.


My dearest Frenemy--

Manipulator


You deemed me naive

A mad girl blind.

Your deceitful pranks,

Concealed the venom

Thinly veiled

Truth revealed...


I rise...

Empowered...

My voice,

No longer at stake
