Analysis of Impostor



Don't look at me;
Please;
Don't look at me--
Your gaze makes me
Shiver;
It makes me feel
You know my inner self;
My true identity.

Don't stare at me
Because
Your look makes me
Feel you have
Discovered  my
Hypocrisy
My pretence:
I am an impostor.

About this poem

Appearance is different from reality, and could be deceptive, and lead to a wrong judgement.
