Greatest

Holding back the tears
That threatens to spill
Hiding all the fears
By faking a sneer

Withdrawing from reality
Unaware of lies forming swiftly
Feeling the insecurity
From people intently staring

They whisper false rumors
Spread to every corner
Pushing you even further
Down the social ladder

No longer outgoing
A shield that is breaking
The tears that are leaking
Not one person noticing

Feeling so hopeless
Gone is the purpose
Giving up with reluctance
To be the greatest
