They talk bad behind your back.
They backstab you.
They give off their true hue, whilst you're not looking back.
They remove pretense and show their true face behind your back and quickly put on the mask when you switch on rear view.
They frown behind your back and plaster those fake smiles back the moment you look back.

Have you noticed something yet?
Yes, the repetition of the word back.

They do all sorts of crazy things and act all funny behind your back -
Don't fuss, that's what tails do.

Your success shadow forms rain clouds that darken their day and that's why they are doing everything they possibly can to bring you back to the ground where there are rooted.
That's why they always trash talk you into believing that you have no wings. .

Be careful of the people who claim to have your back, there are most likely to be the ones to trip you down and make a toast to your demise.

Clear your rear view mirror of all the fog, stain and dust that clouds your judgement and see who's really got your back.

Look back and see who's really looking back at you with arms open wide to catch you when you fall.

Allow me to conclude this piece with an apology because I surely know that sometimes THE TRUTH FEELS LIKE INSULT.
