POEMS/Fake...  


FAKE
undated

I guess everybody has gone through it
But I doubt it
I want to believe it's all a part of it
But I'm skeptical
Once I thought growing up is great
But it sucks
I tried looking for myself
But I got lost

I went through a big labyrinth
Going round and round in it
Just to find my answers
Only to be surrounded by fakes
I told myself stay real
But I'm just a big fake like them
Everyday pretending to be real
In this big, fake world


insight This reflects my frustration of meeting and getting involved with people who are never what they seem to be. There are times when I myself can't recognize who I am, what with the way I act and treat people sometimes. Sometimes, we think that we're being true to ourselves and to those around us by pretending to laugh at a person's joke, by nodding when someone's talking when in fact our mind's drifting to Neverland. One way or another, we're faking it & not a day passes by that we don't fake something.
