Perfect Reject

Disclaimer: My article, my poetry, MINE.

You all think I'm happy
You all think I'm fine
While inside I'm dying
A steady flatline.

I put on a mask
First thing every day
To hide my true feelings
And to keep you at bay.

I've been called antisocial
Pessimistic and cold
Sweet, friendly, outgoing
Or so I've been told.

I've changed my looks
So that I can please
The others around me
But they constantly tease.

I have friends that adore me
For the person I am
But however I hide it
It all is a sham.

I'm sick of the fake smiles
And the same stupid lies
Watching the masquerade
We use as a disguise.

It's not that I'm ungrateful
In fact it's far from it
I'm just trapped in the nightmare
I have so tightly knit.

Welcome back to reality
The world isn't perfect
And the lie that we live in
Is called cause and effect.


The whole point of this poem is basically expressing my frustration towards my school. All of our teachers live in
