What do you think of my short poem :)?

"Feel Reality"

You can't fight the tears.

There's nowhere to run,

Nowhere to hide.

When the enemy is yourself.

I see through your fake smiles,

Through your silence.

Share the screams that only you hear.

Fear is only a state of mind.

Darkness only comes if you let it,

Open up your eyes.

See the truth that's standing in front of you.

I will face my reality.

This was started on about 9/12/09 and finished I think 9/18/09. I'm not sure if I want to reword the last line. So please tell me, what do you think of my short poem?

Thanks to all who answer!! :)

Update:

This is going to really hard again to pick best answer! I appreciate all of your answers and I'm so glad you all like my poem, thanks!! :)

    how true, i like your short poem! it shows how much you understand the meaning of life. the meaning behind this poem - you're talking to yourself. sometimes it's better to lie to yourself because of fear aching inside of you since the truth can sometimes be cruel. however i like the way you try to speak your mind in order to face the reality. (correct if i'm wrong, i like figuring out the hidden meaning behind every poem)

    Another piece well-done :) Your poems are just beautiful. I like this one because its really deep and gives a very good meaning of what people usually feel when they're troubled, loved it :)

    Oooh Amber, you got around to finishing the poem ;D

    It came out really good O_O

    When I read it, it seemed very personal, and the words are much deeper than it appears.

    The second stanza is my favorite :]

    Thanks for sharing it! ^_____^
