Hypocrite!

blah

I tell people to have pride,
to think of life as more than a ride.
But when it comes to me and what I’m wanting,
I find everything just a little too daunting.

I’m a hypocrite, this I know…
telling people to let the real them show,
all the while pulling everything that is me, down low.

I tell people to have hope,
not to dwell on the bad…not to mope.
Yet I do not know why they take my words to heart,
they should be looked at and inspected…like an old piece of art.

I am a hypocrite, this is a fact…
telling people life is not a place to act,
not knowing I’m just another wanna-be hack.

I tell people to have self-belief,
that leaving all the bad behind will be a relief.
While I give away my happiness and my soul,
soaking up the sad, paying everyone else’s toll.

I am a hypocrite, but that doesn’t mean I tell lies…
saying everything has its lows and its highs,
inside feeling as my soul slowly dies.

I hadn't expected this, but I liked it alot. I thought it was very enjoyable. I do the same, I tell people things but then I won't take my own advice.

the poem is excellent but the message I could kick your butt! Your not a hypocrite, you take pride in helping people but along the way you might get lost time and again...but that doesn't mean your a Hypocrite, just means you need to listen to your own advice...lol
