Fake

I'm full of fake,

Fake smiles,

Fake cheers,

Fake laughs. 

I'm deep in pain,

Craving to speak,

The only thing that's real,

Is my sour tears.

I beg to speak,

Rant,

And release,

My feelings to you.

I'm just fake,

All fake smiles,

Fake cheers,

Just,

                         Fake....

Author's Note

I wrote this because I actually feel like this right now, I miss my dead relatives so much and I hate being called a drama queen or anything like that over crying at little things that actually really hurt. I fake laugh and smile and everything like that a lot nowadays. So thanks...

People don't really know how to react when we show or share our sorrow or times of grieving. Sometimes we're expected to be fake in times like those. If your brave enough to show and share how you feel, what would happen? Wonderful poem of self-expression.

You should not feel fake, you are definately real if you feel that way.

when i first clicked on the link i thought whoah whats going on, this is the first time i've seen such an 'out there' format on writers cafe or ever probably. This made me want to read it but then when i actually started reading it i found it was much more than just a new way to right a poem it was really really raw, raw and full of emotion and it really comes out in the simplistic stanza's. One of my favourite poems! really great write.

You should never feel that you owe anyone an explanation, nor that you need to live up to their expectations of you. You feel the way you do and need to deal with that first, and if that upsets others, then too bad for them. your true friends will understand and let you grieve if need be and support you. Good poem, by the way!

This made me cry.. I feel this way sometimes to, but its your feelings not anybody elses forget what they say. You should be able to cry, scream, yell, stomp and do anything else they are your feelings. I've been there too and felt fake and like a phoney. Things will get better.

Girl, screw other people. If you feel sad you should be allowed to cry or if you're angry you can scream. Theirs nothing wrong for feeling your feelings and expressing them. As for your poem, I've been there too. I just got tired of everyone asking me what was wrong, so I faked it. Very relatable

This made me cry... i feel like this too. *hugz* Mourning someone is so much, and takes so much out of you, you don't feel the same as you once did. And you don't feel like yourself as you were before, when they still lived, and so you just feel fake with everything now. Smiling, laughing, talking, etc. when you don't want to and don't feel like it, but you still do just to put on a show that you are alright or to blend in perhaps. Maybe you just want to be left alone and you don't want anyone to bother you so you act like you are alright, when you fake everything instead. And perhaps no one catches that it is all fake, and they don't know how you really feel. Or maybe you want to smile and laugh and speak, etc. but you can't help it because your so sad etc. Drama can help keep you busy, a busy mind can be good... altho it also can hurt much more, because it isn't you and what you want because that isn't how you were, so glad when the person(s) you lost was alive and well. It's okay to cry tho. This poem is really good, it's really heartfelt, a lot. Many feelings actually show in this, even if someone can't see it. I love this write, thanks for sharing it on WC. Love ya tons sissy. < 3
