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.
