Cassidy Fohs - 'I'm Fake' 🎤 | An Honest Reflection on Authenticity

I wish you could see <br />You don't like me for me <br />This hair you think is great <br />Darling it's fake <br />You like the shine in my eyes <br />It's the way the contacts hit the lights <br />My smile so bright <br />I bleached it last night <br />My skin so tan <br />It came from a can <br />I wish you could see <br />I liked the old me <br />My soft natural hair <br />It's no longer there <br />My squinty brown eyes <br />I didn't have to hide <br />My somewhat yellow teeth <br />For I hate the taste of bleach <br />I made a mistake <br />Of becoming so fake <br />I wish I could stand proud and say <br />That I'm natural in everyway <br />But as you can see <br />I'm no longer me <br />My natural eyes <br />They shone with light <br />But now I fear <br />They glisten with tears <br />My smile goes down <br />It's a permanent frown <br />But I pretend smile away <br />Cuz darling I'm fake<br /><br />Cassidy Fohs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-fake/
