You think they are your friends.

they care so much.

they want to hear your grievances, happiness and truth.

but they are just waiting for a show.

the colleagues you talk to

the ones who claim to have your back.

maybe what you to say a lot of things

maybe because they are waiting for a show.

The ones who claim to care about you the most.

are maybe not at all concerned.

they are just waiting for a show.

they want to hear you complain.

or maybe annoy you.

want you to put on a show.

where they are the audience

and you are the performer.

and then they will make sure

the performance is spread far and wide.

The performer and the performance become known to everyone.

maybe because they were only Interested in a show.

they never really care about you at all.

So don’t complain.

and don’t reveal yourself.

be as formal as possible.

and never give a show

don’t be a clown in the circus.

never put up a show

others can clap in.

For those who are waiting for a show

Let them wait.

Wait till forever.
