I am a fake

A very normal

And meaningless person

Acting

He is

Someone special

Someone brilliant

But really

I am just barely

Putting up a good masks

I am

Reaching

I know it

Yet

People praise me

They don’t know

They don’t know much about me

Some people are so eager

To seem nice

But fake compliments

Are meaningless

So eager

To seem nice

So eager

To be liked

Little beavers

So eager

To make me a believer

But I stay

Strong

At least

That’s part of my bad mask.
