Fitting-In

All the trusts I had left in you
Are slowly fading fast
Pretentiousness is a killer 
That could bury you without a fight

Hoping desperately to fit in 
In your li’l world full of shame
Wandering around in the street 
Of totally wrong crowds

There is absolutely nothing
To see
In this kind of scene
Only bunch of losers
Struggling to fit-in

Image is everything
In the world of fools and fakers
No wonder their lives are empty
Surrounded with misery. 

Credibility is a virtue
Something you will never grasp
For your life is just a sham
Tested by wasted time

Thank you all for your warm welcome! I have never written a poem prior to this so I hope my poem made sense to the readers. I trust that with constant practice and reading I will get better over time. I welcome your positive feedback and guidance. Thank again!
