friend or foe?

who are you
my friend or foe?
carefully chosen words
but has the truth been told?
is there a knife
hidden behind your back?
should i stop
and anticipate an attack?
or should i take a breath
pause and hold
patiently wait
for things to unfold
when the mask come off
and in time, reveal
your true colours
the real you
but who should i expect
a friend or foe?
what should i hope?
i don't really know...
