WHEN YOU'RE FAKE

Too much time on how you look
When you could have
Read a book.

You think of how you’ll sound
Instead of being true.
Desperate to resound.

You wonder if
You’ll feel their praise
Their applause is
where You graze.

When you are down
You wear a frown
It looks like empathy
But what you want
Is sympathy.

Time for a showering
Of God’s love
Lathered with the soap
Of your self-worth.

Your face will be lifted
With authentic smiles
So bright.
Now You are getting
It right.

The world
Loves you now!
