timmy's poetry - 39. Being Real
2. as a dear friend put it ...why can't people just be nice .... written about a faker in my life, but dedicated to a friend who was hurt.. again.
1.
Sometimes I feel like im not alive
Like a wisp of a person
Not fully formed
No reason or rhyme
There’s not substance or rhythm
Just a waste of a space
Meant for more
I tried being good
Silent and still
But it just left me, less than before
2.
Huddled in a private corner hiding from the pain
But it’s never far enough; you’re relentless in your quest
You’d slaughter me to get your due, with a smile on your face
Your friends would watch with glee and slap you on the back
Feeding the voracious ego, that long ago devoured you
Wondering what’s happened, but you can feel no shame
Blaming everyone but you, is what narcissists do
You try to wear another’s face, but you leak out anyway
I’d recommend a mirror, but you’ll never face the truth
Because in your head you’re perfect, no need to look inside
In there you are hollow, there is nothing left of you.
