Web of Lies
We hide our emotions and from others we shy,
Though no one bothers to ask us why.
We hide inside our web of lies
That torments our souls and only I
know of the spider.
Countless untruths are told
From the heart that shimmers gold
They see our faces, nothing more
For they have not yet seen what we store.
Our fearful cries ring through our minds
And echo endlessly, though they'll never find
the one who cries-
"Help me!"

I really loved this poem because truthfully, this speaks to us all. Actually, to me, I especially liked the first two lines of this poem.
But, I agree that I think maybe you should have added on a little bit more, about the web of lies. "Help me" kind of just leaves me hanging. It's a very abrupt ending.
As promised!
There you go! Keep writing.

I really like the moral of the poem. Go on my blog ( and I'm not just doing this to advertise) and read my poem And Nobody Can Tell. It has a similar moral and a motive to drive people from being a clone.
The only nitpick I have is this:

"And they echo endlessly, though they'll never find"
I think it should be two separate lines.
Apart from that, I like the poem. It touches on a well-known subject, but you have presented it with a bit of creativity.
I hope to read more from you. Well done!
I liked this poem. It was creative and I could relate to what was being said. Even though this poem was about lies, there was a lot of truth behind it. As someone once told me, to be a good writer one must be effective at lying and making people believe whatever is being said. (I am not promoting lying, but I think you know what I mean).
One suggestion I would make is to change the comma in the first stanza after 'why' to a period. Other then that all of your spelling looked good to me. Keep it up!
