'Who told you?'
Is the first question that comes to my mind.
It was quite fascinating when people that you haven't seen for a very long time will make an effort to meet with you just to ask, "Is it true?"
'Who told you?'
That's what I wanted to know, when I heard you talking to my very best friend.
You told her that I did something horrible and it not safe to be friends with me anymore
'Who told you?'
Was what I was trying to say but I can't, because my lips were busted after you slapped me with your bag accusing me of having No shame.
'Who told you?'
I'm screaming inside my head. I'm getting paranoid and terrorized. Everywhere I go, everywhere I look, there is someone who has something to say —a version of what they thought I did and dare.
'Who told you?'
Finally someone cut the grapevine—or so I thought.
He offered some comfort and asked me how I cope.
Gullible as I am, I gave him my last straw.
The very next day, my story became a nightmare show.
'Who told you?' '
Do I really wanted to know? It could be one person or more, it could be a friend or a snake, it could be someone or no one.
Maybe what I would really want to understand is why do we believe in lies so easily? Through the grapevine we believe willingly. The same grapevine who will never told you I was gone.
Why do people do that, why we can't just uplift each other.
What does it gives us?
What does it make us?
