A Fake

by Leah.A.   Jul 6, 2004


You go on everyday
Pretending to be like everyone else
A mould of perfection
A symbol of happiness.

That smile of yours never seems to go away
But too bad no one knows the real story behind it
The pain
The loneliness
That’s hidden underneath.

Everyone seems to think they know
The life you lead
And the thoughts you hold
But deep inside no one knows anything about anyone.

You give others the impression your okay
That nothing is really wrong
And that your just like them
A person who is entirely normal.

You don’t know what to do
Either to live your life as a fake
Or to shy yourself away from a world
That you wish you had never been introduced to.

All you want is that open hand
That someone to talk to
To understand you
So you know you have someone there
Someone to live for.

But sometimes people will never know
They will never see
That the “you” I write of
Is really me.
