Array ( [sid] => 159255 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => And The Winner Is....? [time] => 2010-04-26 17:59:15 [hometext] => I can fool the world. But I can't fool myself. [bodytext] => How can they ask how I’m feeling?
How can they ask if I’m fine?
I thought that my eye’s were revealing.
The heart on my sleeve tells no lies.

I guess I’m that great of an actress.
I guess they don’t know it’s pretend.
To act, is a skill that I’ve practiced.
They think I have so many friends.

I let them believe what they want to
I let them believe all is well.
It seems that they don’t have a clue.
They don’t catch the lies that I tell.

If only they knew what the truth is.
If only they knew what was real.
If only the truth wasn’t missed.
If only they knew how I feel.

Look how I smile so brightly.
Look how I laugh with such joy.
The mirror I stand before nightly,
Has helped with my greatest of ploys.

I guess I have everyone fooled now.
There’s no one who sees past this mask.
No ones expecting a bow.
Cause no one suspects it’s an act.

I guess I can say I’m the winner.
They think that my life is such fun.
So why do I find that I’m sicker?
And why don’t I feel like I’ve won? [comments] => 1 [counter] => 133 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Nevilleconnie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 1 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Well written, carefully and organized too.
If this is poetry made up for we readers to enjoy.............
If not, please stop pretending, and become a "Truer" you.
If you can't be true to yourself..........there's no hope for you.
Really enjoyed this one
Warm love

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
