You, a poem by Shahnaz Keya at Spillwords.com

You

You

written by: Shahnaz Keya

 

What are you trying to tell yourself?
“You are okay?”
Laughing around, cracking jokes, dancing with song
All these are “you?” “The Happy You?”
What are you trying to hide?
Whom are you trying to fool?
Is it the world or yourself?
Look in the mirror while alone
The revulsion will smile back.
Your eyes hold your truth
You know it’s not YOU…
