A Fake
Truly, I'm dead inside
But I want everyone to think I'm happy, that I'm positive.
I only fibbed, it's a lie
Since no one has been supportive
I put on a mask
in fear
I just want to hide, that's all I ask
I can feel it going down my cheek, a tear.
Sorrow deprives me of hope
Without the love, it's all taken away
I'm on a steep slope
All I can do is pray
I see a pure white dove
As bright as the day
I see a dove full of love
Right before it's taken away
I know I'm one of the fakes
I'm not who I am
Inside it really aches
All I can do is scram
I put up a screen
I don't let them see me
Just that normal, average teen
That's what I plea
I know how fake I am
I know this isn't the real me
I say to myself, "Get with the program,"
I wish I was free
