Fake Mask

by Rach   May 7, 2011


Its times like these
I sit here and wonder why,
How did I get here?
Im really not that shy.

I havent any friends
Or family to ask,
But why do I hide behind
This fake old mask.

I try to tell myself
That I can change,
And then maybe people
Wont think Im so strange.

But why cant I
Just be myself?
And not have to answer
To anyone else.

Im really not that strange
Or really that shy,
I guess Im just living
A life called a lie.

I really want to be me
Fake no more,
So I no longer have to
Stare at the floor.

I want to be accepted
For whom I truly am,
And not have to fake
Who I really am.

    I liked this poem but I feel like I've seen it before. Not to say you took it from anyone else but that it doesn't have that original quality. This reminds me a lot of how I use to write. I didn't like poems that didn't rhyme and for awhile I limited myself to that style when suddenly all my poems sounded the same and were no longer good. I think you are good at expressing your emotions and feelings but your devliery is weak. I'd love to see you write some free verse or maybe even form poetry. That way your feelings can be free to be as angry or as happy as you want them to be. Keep writing dear :] -Nik
