Poem -Fake Pride


You stand there, head held high
With a cast of misconceptions over your neck 
Looking down on them, you stand there 
While forgetting your roots of misfortune

Wearing a fancy dress, only to hide the scars 
You bury your sorrows 
The mud of bluff All over your face, splattered by you

Putting on a mask, only to hide the scowl 
Everyone knows the mask 
But who knows the face? 
The mask joins with your veins
Whereas the face peels out

You don't know you now 
You don't accept you now 
Trying to integrate the fake pride in your blood 
Trying to belong, whereas loosing yourself 

In this futile attempt, you became no more than dust
The sin consumes you, but not realise yourself 
In this pursuit of fake pride, I hope you get yourself back
