Definitions of Reality

I am a liar. I act tough. I act like I don’t care.
But in reality, I suffer from every glass-eyed glare.
I am a lost cause. I act like I have promise.
But I still run for cover because my soul is an abyss.
I am a monster. I act like I am harmless.
But in reality, I’m a hysterical mess.

I like this. It's sad. But it's so.. I'm not sure. Revealing. It seems simple but it's so much more. Good write. And the best wishes to you for this holiday season! :)
