Secret Truth Number Seven: don't fake it

Secret Truth Number Seven: don't fake it

A Poem by lilly wildfire

fake PEOPLE
WITH THEIR fake LIVES, IN THEIR fake WORLDS
WORRYING ABOUT THEIR fake PROBLEMS.
THEY fake A SMILE FOR EVERYONE,
THEN fake A GOOD CRY TO THEIR fake BEST FRIEND,
WHO falsely COMFORTS THEM WITH fake WORDS, BUT WHO'S
SECRETLY WAITING FOR AN OPPERTUNITY TO STAB THEM
IN THE BACK. THEY fake FEELING BETTER AND STAND UP AGAIN,
FLUFF UP THEIR fake HAIR AND DRY THEIR fake EYES.
AND fake ANOTHER SMILE.
IN THE END ALL THEY HAVE IS THEIR fake BODIES
AND THEIR fake FACES, HIDING THEIR fake FEELINGS
INSIDE THEIR fake LIVES. always hiding
and it's so easy to become FAKE like they are,
hide who you are, and how you feel.
so so easy, to FAKE your life and FAKE your feelings.
but you can't FAKE happiness.
and in the end, that's what matters.
the FAKES are just that; FAKE.
they don't know how to be true, and the truth
is what matters most. follow it.

i likely i likely. i really like how the bold words spell out sentences of their own very witty. but i do have one problem, the word fake is used a lot here. i kinda wish you would use synonymes for the word fake, like facade,artificial, bogus, bull, cook, counterfeit, false, falsify, faux, forge, fraud, fudge, imitation, imitative, imposter, impostor, manipulate, misrepresent, phoney, phony, postiche, pretender, pseud, pseudo, role player, sham, simulated, unreal, waffle, wangle or any other word you can think of. its just a personal pet peeve of mine, repeating words. but i really do love. and i know about some fake friends, you and i share some of them. but anyways good job pluradon! although i think that you should keep the word fake in the end when you bold it cause it works there. ^^
