The Fake And The Real Poem by Erica Grohman

im tired of the lies and the secrets
what a friend you are and everyone else
you think i dont know what you say
i know what you and everyone else says about me
but you dont know how it hurts
when i walk by and everyone points and laughs
you dont know what its like to spend your lunch
in the bathroom all alone everyday
you dont know what its like to cry yourself to sleep
to have no one to love you, to wake up every morning
and having to go to school knowing you only have one friend
you dont know the things i hide
just to protect myself, its sad
you dont know what its like to be ugly and fat
to have everyone look at you so discussted
the tears ive shed, the little cuts
your so close to perfect and im farthest
you say your not like everyone else
but you are, your just a clone of the pathetic
trying so hard to fit in, your desperate
your just another lyer who played with my head
you said you were my friend and still are
stop it, i know the truth so stop it
im not dumb, im not blind, i know
but i'll fake a smile and hold back the tears
just like i allways do
and pretend everythings ok but i have to tell you
i think im fallin in love with the nice person
that you claim to be, i guess i am a fool
