What people see me as is a total lie,
I am only what I am when no one is watching
But I dont even know that person
So how do I really exist?

Outstanding... outside of a format or any kind of length, this poem truly did get to me.
I know the feeling all too well of putting up a false front to please people, and then being confused later by it.
If we are who we are only on the outside, how are we to know who we truly are?
Perhaps this "front" that one creates is truly his/her actual nature? His/her true "self?"
You are bound to raise a few questions with this poem, FallNTears. And that is a good thing.
Thanks for the very interesting post, and welcome to Passions in Poetry.
