Fake Poem by Nikki Taboada

Your Blue Eyes Hiding Every Pain And Anger You Have Ever Felt
Your Shaking Hands Steadied Only By Will Of Mind
But To Others Your Eyes Put Off Only Beauty
To Others Your Hands Are Sure
In My Eyes … I Can See You’re Scared
Like A Lost Child In The Rain
Pretending To Be Strong
God, You’re So Fake

Your Face Reflecting None Of The Internal Conflict You Feel
Your Stride Unwavering Only Because You Feel The Need To Hide Your Weakness
But To Others, Your Face Is Forever Beautifully Smiling
To Others, Your Stride Is Confident And Carefree
In My Eyes … I Can See You’re Hurt
Like A Heart Broken Too Many Times
Pretending To Be Whole
God, You’re So Fake

Your Seemingly Calm Words Are Silently Crying Out
Your Very Presence Concealing The Fact Of Your Fear With False Confidence
But To Others, Your Words Are Intoxicating
To Others, Your Presence Is Nothing But A Happy One
In My Eyes … I Can See You’re Nothing But Lies And Deceit
Like A Story Of True Love
Pretending To Be Real Life
God, You’re So Fake
