False Display

Tap tap tap

the wood of this house,

a low flat sound sings in response.

This house has a secret

unseen to the eye,

presenting so beautiful and put together,

while damage ensues between the walls.

It’s becoming weak

and hurt within,

while the outside keeps

the façade,

maybe with little hints of harm

here and there.

But,

unless treated,

this house will collapse,

and its beautiful appearance

will go with it.
