The Truth
She joked her way through life
Her deepest fears
Her flaws
Her past
All hidden by the mask of her sarcastic manner
Numbing her true emotions
She joked when times were serious
Attempting to distinguish
The burning flames of reality
She wouldn’t dare to face
Now everyone is gone
And she is all alone
Lucky for her
It was only a joke

I was inspired by the reflection of my character to write this poem. After doing some soul searching I discovered what damaged my personality. Because of this, I was able to focus on that flaw and work to better myself as a person.
