Social Liar
Location
On my birthday
I spent an hour on my makeup
Made sure I had the right top
Took over twenty photos
And cried myself to sleep
My post of myself on Instagram
Got over 100 favorite
Sometimes at school
When people ask me how I feel
I’m used to telling them I’m fine
Something programmed in my mind
Because fake sympathy is worse
Than lying to myself every day
My post about how great I feel on Tumblr
Got over 100 notes
In the morning before I go in the shower
I make a point to grab every point on my body
Over swelled with skin I call fat
My jeans squeeze my thighs
And my shirt hides my bulging stomach
My post of my outfit on Facebook
Got over 100 likes
But sometimes I wonder who I am fooling
With posting picture all the time
And pretending I’m okay when I’m not
I’m more than just a commodity for others to admire
I’m more than a happy girl who cries too much
I’m more than the façade I put on to get approval
If you lie to people enough they will believe it
But I can never hide the truth from myself
My post about how I’m sick of hiding on Twitter
Got ignored
