“pretty Lies” Poem by persian khushi

Hidden behind smiles and jokes
The lives nearly ruined meant nothing
Her inheritance they did not like
Their jealousy they could not hide
Raised in front of them
Thinking she was their kind
In front of a room full of guests
The truth revealed
They could not hold back
What they cannot hide
The demise of a father she thought was hers
From then every question every detail revealed
All those feelings as a kid
Now answered and finding her real father
