fakeing
don't know y i always portray such a negative view of myself in my poems, i guess that's how people have always made me feel.... i wrote this thingy in class 9 too, when i was about 12 or 13...and i still feel like this, only more intensely than ever. FAKE Yes, I’m nothing No, I don’t feel Of course I’m happy Every wound will heal Sure, I’m the lowliest That He could make And I’m so content With the gladness I fake Nothing inside that I can see Nothing outside that you can perceive Just a fake, a sham, With a painted smile Just a doll to adorn With a heart as bile A wax mask covering my hideous face; A farce of lies veiling my life False tears glossing over my eyes how will you ever try to see inside? And so I’m at ease I have to be For I’m a fake That none can see I can’t change it So here I’m feeling Just living with it But no wounds are healing

now THATS a poem full of hidden stories.
just remember - life is too short to pretend you're someone else.

The rest of the poem is really good and something that can be related to. But there are just two lines which, maybe it's just the way i understood it, i seriously disagree with.
"Sure, I’m the lowliest
That He could make"
I would explain how, but I would prolly fail with my words sounding like something i didn't intend.

Hmmm, I suppose that if you look at it from a specfic angle, your lines do make a lot of sense.
For me, "pessimism" and "self-degradation" (as my friend likes to call it) works. It keeps me humble, and urges me to reach out further.
So, whatever works for you. Best of luck!
