"Fake" Is My Middle Name
This morning the sun shines bright
through my bedroom windows.
And I lay here, covered by a blanket.
Ridden by guilt, anger, and pain.
But I glow with happiness, confidence, and love.
Who says honesty is the best policy?
The truth hurts more than anything.
Hey, aren't I a great actress?
I plaster makeup and hairspray on.
Flaunt myself in revealing clothes.
The cherry on top? A bright white smile.
Dishing out compliments like a dealer and winking at every passing
male specimen.
Hundreds of them turning heads around after passing, check out the scene from behind.
All the time, I just want to hurl.
Returning home from a busy day
is no high point of my day.
Mother's working.
Father's MIA.
Sister is happy as could be.
I race upstairs to my solitude
and strip my grimy clothing off.
Scrub fakeness off my weak, breaking body.
Acting is such a good gig, huh?

Hey its Solei :). Sorry i havent replied. I've been really busy. And i kinda stopped contributing work. I feel as if this isnt about how good your writing is. It about how many "friends" you can get to rate it so you can be the most popular. Popularity is oh so shallow T_T well sorry:) reply back or email me :D
