RavenHouse in Poetry & Free Verse

Two Faced

I work with 'friends'

Yet call all 'foe'.

How can I trust

When they give no reason to?

A smile is often accompanied by

A knife in the back

In the form of a harrassing email.

They say they pray for me

Yet it's whispers I hear when I turn away,

Not platitudes and praise.

I work hard, keep my head down,

And my repayment is their apathy -

I can't win for losing.

Smiles and hate or cold shoulders and solitude;

Which is worse, when you work as team?
