The Pretender


I am the pretender
I am the one
I am the person
Who lives with no fun


Crying on the inside
Smiling on the out
Can’t help but wondering
What this life’s all about


Pretending is my blessing
Pretending is my sin
Pretending is what I must do
To keep my true feelings in


Flawed on the inside
And calm on the out
So tired of being helpless
I just want to scream and shout


I cannot show my real face
Therefore I must pretend
These feelings must always be hidden
Until the very bittersweet end.
