Is this supposed to galvanize me to not be honest?

It's okay. You can make it better with revision. It reads awkwardly. Some sentences need words subtracted or changed completely. I liked the last two lines. Nice impact there.
Hmm.

Your words are a blast
Like a shot from a loaded gun.

Saying you're wounded has better impact this way.

All you see is a fake smile.

That extra 'I smile' trips readers up.

See what I mean?

It has some lovely moments.

To be brutally honest I found the rollercoaster analogy, yup, cliche.. although I liked the last 2 lines.

Plenty of promise.

Wright is wrong, its write, right!

Writing is a fantastic form of expression and you expressed yourself clearly, with humour and sadness.

Keep it up. You will only get better with practice.

Peace
