Description
I’m a really good actor aren’t I?I have to be
Seeing how my whole persona
Is nothing but a lie.
I’m not sure how it happened.
I’m not sure if it’s still happening now
But somehow the person I made myself to be
Is not myself at all
I’m not strong
I’m not creative
I’m not smart
I’m not nice
I’m not sure
What I am
I’m not sure
Of anything anymore
“Just eat something” you say
Arms crossed, looking over your glasses
Tired of this foolishness
You don’t have time to waste
Don’t you know it’s not that simple?
That’s not how maladies work
It’s not the food that’s my problem
It’s that I hate myself
“I’m fine” I snarl vehemently
A glare that makes you storm off
Leaving me alone again
To face the devil unarmed
It’s not that I’m mad at you
That’s not what makes me spit those words
Releasing onto you for just a moment
The persistent demons of my mind
I am actually just hoping
That if I say it confidently enough
And with enough conviction
Spirited enough, strong enough
Then maybe it will become true

I really like your poetry. I read your other two. Dog Hair and Horizontal. They were really good. I got chills and everything. Stars for you.
