Haiku

Close Doors

Close doors for abuse.
Offenders are unwelcome.
Disagree with tact.

Close doors for gossips.
Toxic polemic mongers.
Useless attention.

Close doors for liars.
You can’t trust their feigned closeness.
Hook in your weakness.

Close doors for all fiends.
Opportunistic leeches.
Misshape your essence.

Close doors for scandals.
Inflicted shame pulling you,
pushing you to break.

Closed doors: discretion.
Vigilance, ethics, values:
unlock to feat.
