Fake
By: Tanisha S.
They all say things you wanna hear
pleasant but fake
I know what I'm not
but what am I?
am I the false words
They tell me?
am I the opposite
of what They say?
do I define myself
or do I let Them define me?
Nobody is right
telling fake nothings
cold and dead.
am I dead inside?
am I the shooting star
so brief and illuminating?
am I capital N nothing?
am I capital S something?
Do I define myself
or do I let Them
define me?
