They called me fake.
They are right but they can’t take,
the real me, you see.

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.

So powerful!
Wonderful work, in a world where others may judge and label us, it's important that their perceptions do not define our true selves, the authenticity within we cannot be negated by their judgments, embrace our uniqueness and let our genuine self shine, for that is where our true power lie, stay true to who you are, and others will come to see and appreciate our real essence, thank you very much for sharing, love your works, hope to read more, subscribed.
Most people make fake the only viable option, because they live in a fake world… It’s like a butterfly speaking to a room full of caterpillars… .
