One last poem of the night
Feeling numb and empty.
Surrounded by masked faces
I no longer know.
They greet you with a fake smile.
They ask how are you and then
Look their phone.
Not waiting for you to answer.
So i say everything is fine.
Pouring my heart on to blank lines
Of my notebook.
Happy when night come because
I can escape for a while.
The world is falling apart two
Black life's taken.
Yet they tell me to cheer up
That it is not my problem.
We are living in a fake society
Where its okay to live a lie, and
Judge anyone who doesn't fit
Into that mould.
Haven't you notice how every picture
Has a smile that tells a thousand lies.
My friends look at each other and
Say #letstakeaselfie.
Feeling like a paper boat on a lake
Wondering if I belong anywhere.
