Duplicitious

She finds 
her own truth, 
and seeks comfort 
in the words, whether
they are true
or not.

Covering 
unsavory actions
under the thick cloak
of purported concern,
she seems 
to care.

Cleverly
embracing, she 
simultaneously calculates
what might be left and 
what gain there 
might be. 

The façade
always well played
convinces the unsophisticated;
those not privy to the knowledge
that act two is about 
to begin.
