Faking It, Is Easy! Poem by Anita Atina

Faking it, is easy

Life, love, happiness

All prey to a mask we adorn


Faking love

When its too difficult to say no

Or accept that you’ve grown apart


Faking happiness

So the neighbours won’t know

You’re not feelin’ great, anymore


Faking joie de vivre

Or loneliness would break your heart

Faking it, is easy


The price of not faking

Is to feel the pain

And not hide


Is to open your tender heart

To rejection and abuse

And still not loose faith


And believe in the hope, that you will

Find another who isn’t faking it

Faking it, after all, is easy, we all do it!
