Poems of a Teenage Girl

Fake

Is what they are saying true?
What is truth.
It's the ruthless killing of happiness.
Why be rude when you can be fake.

"Of course you look great."
"He totally likes you"
As they laugh behind your back.
And kill your future.

Well that's not me.
I don't want to be fake.
I'll tell you straight out.
I'm not afraid of truth.

But sometimes I am.
Ad sometimes I lie.
But it's not a big deal.
I'm not fake like them.

I'm just trying to protect
The ones I care for.
My friends don't want to know
That my words are not real.

Fake.
Cheap.
Liar.
Bitch.

All these words inside my head.
They aren't real.
They aren't true.
I'm not the fake one, the fake one is
You.
