Do they think I am ugly? Do they feel I am dumb? Am I hopeless? Am I stupid? Am I worthless? Am I **** Do they even like me? Or are they just being nice Questions like these Went daily through my mind I acted like I ain’t afraid of anything Like I am just being myself Though inside I felt miserable Like a cobweb on a shelf On this very face of mine I have put masks for years Hiding all my insecurities Hiding all my fears I pretended to be Someone I am not A girl who looks pretty A girl they think is hot I kept putting on these masks Till they became a part of me As slowly and gradually They grew to reality But lately I realized I was losing my soul Living in a fake world Growing up a hole I didn’t have any idea Who I actually was When I came to terms with that The masks began to fall And as the masks fell one by one There was a different girl underneath A girl who could face her demons And believe in herself This was a journey with many hills And sometimes it was ok to be in a valley A mask may help to’ fake it ‘til you make it’ Until you start living your own poetry

Fake it 'til you make it
Do they think I am ugly? Do they feel I am dumb? Am I hopeless? Am I stupid? Am I worthless? Am I **** Do they even like me? Or are they just being nice Questions like these Went daily through my mind I acted like I ain’t afraid of anything Like I am just being myself Though inside I felt miserable Like a cobweb on a shelf On this very face of mine I have put masks for years Hiding all my insecurities Hiding all my fears I pretended to be Someone I am not A girl who looks pretty A girl they think is hot I kept putting on these masks Till they became a part of me As slowly and gradually They grew to reality But lately I realized I was losing my soul Living in a fake world Growing up a hole I didn’t have any idea Who I actually was When I came to terms with that The masks began to fall And as the masks fell one by one There was a different girl underneath A girl who could face her demons And believe in herself This was a journey with many hills And sometimes it was ok to be in a valley A mask may help to’ fake it ‘til you make it’ Until you start living your own poetry
