Picture Perfect Perfection

Perfect friends.
Perfect emotions.
Perfect family.
Perfect presents
on Christmas.
Perfect boyfriend
Everything is just
perfect.

Then I wake up to
fake friends,
fake emotions,
fake family.
No one cares,
No one ever will.

No one really has emotion,
Its all synthetic,
Fake, not real.

"Class pick a friend to work with in class."
Says teacher.
I always say,
"What if you dont have any friends?"
Everyone laughs thinking im joking...
Im not.

Friends are fake,
artificial replicas of clones.

Speak your mind freely
and openly,
because most people dont
and the people around them
start to feel fake,
unreal.

I dont even feel alive,
I feel like my life is a movie on repeat
same old dumb stuff day after day after
day.

What has happened to this world?
What has happened to me?

This poem is great. Good that you can see through the lies and rubbish. Now go and find some real friends. People who are not socialites but stick beside you in a ruck. People who will offer a hand when you are down. The Bible says of Christians that it is by their fruit that you will know the real deal. The same is true of friends. Frends don't backbite or gossip about you. Friends will defend you and stand by you in difficult times. You are in a good place. Go and make it better.

i have felt this way - we sometimes try to look for perfection that it all feels fake...yet the world still unfolds through our eyes and we can behave accordingly - i hate being fake and i hate trying to be perfect....thought provoking. thank u for the read request.
