Poetry

By waqar jameelPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

These days, everybody thinks they're real.

Some act real in front of others,

But they know that they're otherwise.

Some act real in front of others,

And keep that act, even when they're alone.

Lying to themselves.

Who is real? Who is fake?

What makes a person real?

Which traits make that person fake?

Fake means something not real;

Real means something of none lies.

How can you pretend a smile and call yourself real?

If you are fake, take the leap to accept that.

You know who is real?

Someone who used to be fake.

Rain before sun. Dark before light...

Fake before real.

It's your birthright to be fake.

It's your choice to stay fake...
