Porcelain faces  with painted smiles  empty shells  that greet  and pretend  behind these painted smiles  behind these empty shells  are those  who enjoy gossip  rumor mongering  Each word shattering someone's soul  The slowest  cruelest way  to murder a person  To gossip  to spread rumors  to spread hurt  It takes small pieces of the person's  heart and soul slowly  until that person  they love to gossip about  has nothing left  and when the shell that was left  disappears  people cry  and pretend to wonder why  but inside they smile  at the murder on their hands  they are so proud  is it any wonder  I have built walls tall and thick  is it any wonder I refuse to trust?
