Welcome to a world
Where dreams do come true.
Everything is exactly what you expected.
But is it what it seems?
Smiles and laughter penetrate the air,
Unknowingly,
Tarnished and tainted,
With a superficial mist
About them.
"How are you?" they ask.
Fake smiles formed on their mouths.
You think about it for a moment,
"Actually," you start,
But they've already walked on by,
A pointless question
With no need for an answer.
They don't care.
So nice to your face,
But the minute you walk out that door,
The mouths start running
Full speed ahead.
"Did you see what she was wearing?"
"What's up with her hair?"
"I can't believe she said that!"
"She really isn't cute."
"What does he see in her?"
"I look better than her."
"She's so ugly."
"And fat."
"And that face? Don't get me started!"
They laugh.
Little did they know
You were right outside the door.
You forgot your notebook.
Tears well up.
You're gut instict tells you to leave.
A twister of emotions
Are ready to burst free,
But you must hold them in.
Just remember,
This is the world where they make reality happen.
My one and only question is
How come nobody mentioned
Reality Sucks!

It's..really good. lol. I know that doesn't sound like much, but that's probably because I'm speechless. It's so true, and it reminds me sadly--of kinda my life. I mean, my emotions are conflicted! I'm happy, because I like the poem..but yet I'm sad because of the poem. lol. I guess I'll be plain and simple, and just say: Great job! I really liked it. Keep writing, and I hope I can read some more of your poems soon.

Yeah, reality does suck. I thought it might have been a bit....over done in some parts? But I really liked the concept. And it was very true. Especialy the second stanza: "How are you?" they ask.
Fake smiles formed on their mouths....

They don't care."
It really is a pointless question because most people really don't care! So over all, I thought it was good.
Would you comment on one of my poems?

this is really amazing. i like the flow of it and i sit and listen to what others say about other people and it is really messed up, and two girls have been talkin about me and my bestfriend, just to make us mad and we ignore them though, but truely does suck, and this really is amazing.

"You're gut instict tells you to leave." Your. Instinct.
Now that that's out of the way- This is amazing! I'm a bit of a wallflower myself, so I know where this is coming from. It's terrible to see what people do to one another for no reason. They think that people do not know, but they do, and it hurts even worse when it happens behind their backs. This is a very real look into teenage life, unfortunately. You put this poem together wonderfully. Thank you for sharing!

yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I've been in your position, and the person who's gotten made fun of. A lot of the time they're making fun of me while I'm "in the corner reading or writing or listening to music" too. It does suck. But we have to put up with it one way or another. Because suicide may "help us" but it makes life a lot crappier for people who love us.
Your poem was great, DEFINATLY gave a true sign of reality and how cruel some people can be! -
wow!
this was incredibly well stated!
i cant believe how people can act one way to your face one minute and then their attitudes change the minute uve left the room!
I know how that feels!
Pretty shitty thing to do if u ask me!
very well done!
Can I have a caramel sundae with choc chips on top?

Reality sucks only if you let it. Take everything with a grain of salt, and life can get better.
'This is the world where they make reality happen'
and thats the truth, but sometimes you have to twist it to make it work for you.
Good poem, and keep writing.
