Learning to distinguish fake

How easy it is to put on a fake smile ?
How easy it is for you to act friendly ?
How easy it is to lie in relationships ?
You can fake your smiles and laughter
But you can never fake
True feelings and heart break
Amidst all this
I learned
Not to trust people
I learned
Not to believe what others always say
But
To silently observe what they do
I came
To believe that other people
even when you think you know them well are ultimately unknowable
I learned
To suspect that anyone
and everyone is capable of
“living a lie”
Because
We rarely lose friends and lovers,
with time we just figure out
who are the real ones
