O Ye The Best Of Fakers

A Poem by Lokesh

You are the best at faking.
All those emotions and thoughts
You put in front are faked ones.
You don't exist in the reality
Though you claim you do.
You dwell in your own fantasy
Where what you fake is real,
And what you don't is unreal.
And the biggest secret you hide
Is that you are afraid you will lose all:
Every victory you achieved,
Every friend you made,
And the most important of all:
The person you have become.

At the time of our parting,
You said I am unrealistic.
But I know you meant to say idealistic.
And yes I am idealistic.
I too have my own fantasy.
But there I don't fake,
I express what my heart and my mind express.

O ye the best of fakers,
One day your fake reality,
Your fake identity,
Your everything which is fake
Will come crumbling down,
Stripping every fake attire you wear.
At that day you will be you
And you will be shocked to know
You woke from a long dream.
