F.A.K.E People

Hello, on this blog, I have only been posting my stories. However, this is my first poem on this blog. From now on, I hope to post both stories and poems here...So, hope you like it!

                                                                   F.A.K.E. PEOPLE

Pretty much wherever I go

I’m surrounded by people

Yet feel alone

So many, walking here and there

But then out of those 

There’s some I know

They make me wonder if it’s true 

That you reap what you sow

Whilst hearing them talk

Whilst they look in your eyes

That’s when I realise

I must be some angel in disguise

Though when I’m heedless 

Of  their conversation 

Or when once they thought I was

What I heard were words 

But they felt like stones

No! Knives thrown straight

At my heart where it hurt most

People who lie behind your backs

People who put on their best smiles

Courage though their heart lacks

You’ll search for their truth for miles

But nothing real will you any soon find

Cause they’re only 

Making people pleased and satisfied

They think people can’t stand truth

So they give them lies

They don’t want enemies 

Haters, they despise

They don’t express their feelings 

And are afraid of listening from others 

About their own truth, this they realise  

They are the fake people just as you think

Who made you feel weird

In their supposedly sweet company

In reality they care only about others 

Gossip to their ears is some symphony

I hope someday they’ll realise there’s more to life

Than other people and fitting in 

And they’ll stop being people who

Lie behind your back

But In front of your face 

Put on their best smiles.
