Sniffing a fake plant like it's real
Because nothing that is real will ever stay alive
The lies will never die
The truth is a killer
The fake will live forever
So I cry
And go hide
The truth can put you on a long and crazy ride
Stopped by your own lies
I'll give you this fake smile
Even though the hurt lingers for a while
Don't want to live here forever
Not being afraid to die makes you braver
So, I will live in my truth
Be the realist person you ever knew
Not on social media being fake for views
What about you? What do you choose to do?

Your whole poem feels very authentic and relatable. Also timely. last few lines are absolutely a relevant challenge to me personally. Been thinking about stepping away from social media in some ways. Might not full on quit insta, but I uninstalled the app to remind myself not to waste time making noise or doom scrolling.
This was soooo profound! Loved your poem!
This is a great piece, and the flow is perfect. Well done.
