Faking It

Faking It
By Russell McCumber

Why fake it?
To tell them what they want to hear
or to tell yourself what you want to hear?
Is it to escape punishment
or to create self-delusion?
Will it save you now
but hurt you later?
Why fake it,
because what you say doesn’t mean a thing
If you aren’t who you say you are.
