Pretending what I do

doesn't hurt.

Pretending who I am isn't 

broken.

Pretending that I don't need help

when I need it most.

Pretending like I have everything

I'll ever need.

Pretending that my life's 

not a mess.

Pretending like I have 

a place in society.

Pretending like I 

belong.

Pretending like my life

is good when really,

it's anything but.
