Why I Do Not Fear

Everyone around me

crying, trembling, shattered

yet I do not feel a thing

 

I know I should be with them

but somehow I'm stuck

watching the greiving from the wings

 

They say I am too proud

too mighty

to be brouhgt low

 

But I am not, my pride

abandoned me

long ago

 

They say I am resilient

I have gotten up

off of the ground

 

But I escape their prying eyes

hidden in the dirt

I do not make a sound

 

They say I am strong

But that's a lie

A pedestal holds my damnation  

 

 

But then I hide my faults

they can't see past

their mind's own creation

 

No one but me can explain

my so called

tough exterior

 

Because I do not fear death

at the hands of anyone, but

the person in the mirror

Because I do not fear death

Check your spelling - a few little errors here and there. You've written this well but I don't really think there's very much original about this. You ought to include some sort of hook, something that makes this stand out a little better, otherwise it looks terribly generic.
