You're nice
  yet ultimately hollow
  you speak   but not with truth
  you're here
  in body not in mind
  you love
  yourself

		 AT LAST! 
 
A piece of poetry where I understand what's going on. Praise the lord! Praise Jeeeeeesus! 
 
Ahem. I like the way you've got the first lin in bold followed by the second in italics. It almost looks like the the second lines are a whisper, as though the real truth is being thought, but not said aloud. 
 
I may be a complete moron when it comes to deciphering poetry, but I could read this without losing hair, which is a good thing, if only to me... 
 
I like =)

		 Yes, I too thought the second lines were thoughts, if only we dare say the things we are thinking, a lovely poem.

		 Very simple, straightforward and prosaic. 
 
One small thing, should 'your here/nice' not be 'you're here/nice'? 
 
Sorry if that sounds pedantic, but I did enjoy it
