"Wasted fake smiles wander across my face,
I walk without elegance, walk without grace.
Just another girl from the east side of town,
Glass half empty, putting on a frown."

I absolutely love how you worded this stanza, great rhyming choice and flow!

"But if you even know me, you know life has been rough,
And on the surface I always look so strong and tough.
There's so much I don't have the courage to show,
I'm so damn good at faking, you'll never even know"

Excellent ending. I really like how in this poem you show up as a very strong and tough person, but deep down you are faking it, and just don't have the courage to show the real you. Great work. Keep writing, always and forever....

Reminds me of myself.
really enjoyed it.
thanks
