Fake

I think everyone here can relate to this poem :/ at least once in your life you probably had to put a fake smile on your face right? I hope you like it :P

Fake

Fake smiles on my face

Trying to cover my sadness

My disappointment

Crying myself to sleep

Because I can’t cry in front of you

Fake laughs leave my mouth

When laughing is the last thing I want to do

I can’t do it anymore

But all I see around me

Is fake smiles

Fake laughs

And fake people

I think I’m going crazy

I don’t like you

I don’t need you

I don’t want to smile

Why should I laugh?

When all I feel is betrayed?

You ask me if I’m alright

I cheat myself into saying I am fine

Once again I’m faking

Nobody notices

Because nobody cares

They are fake people

Who deceive me into believing they care

I start to believe the fake things they say

But I pull myself into reality and see their true faces

I look in the mirror and see my fake self on the surface

Does anyone truly know who I am?

Am I phony?

Am I real?

Do I even exist?

I’m tired of not being true to myself

But if I stop being fake will I still exist?
