Broke

No one knows me
Not the real soul
They see my mask
Deceiving them is my goal

No one will know
No one will find
No one will search
They leave me behind

I try to keep up
To be like them
But I know I'll never
Ever be the same as them

I lost my innocence
And that's what they have
My father broke me
Into two halves

One was a joyful child
Filled with hopes
But that was a mask
I'll show you the ropes

All you have to do is pretend
Become an actress
Seem not to care
Become weightless, airless

But not really
It's a mask.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
