Notes About The Poem
In our world today people are so engrossed with fitting into society and buying into fake everything. There is so much greed, even fake relationships. Our world is upside down.

Fake Is Everywhere

There are moments in life you never forget, and some you definitely want to forget, forever.

Today was one of those I'll never forget days, but dear lord, I want to forget.

There you were eating your pizza, drinking your beer and faking your face, and whatever those were above your fake heart.

I was shocked at the size of everything. The only thing left to be the same was that look in your eyes, a cold stare, genuine evilness.

My eyes met yours and for a moment I was reminded that people really do wear masks and they create themselves with fake everything. 

You didn't see me, but for a fleeting moment when you looked my way, I saw you. 

My pizza was great, my salad was tasty. I enjoyed my company and didn't waste another moment trying to figure out who you really were, I already knew.
