Pretend

Hmmm...

There are about a million and one thoughts swirling around my head.
But, I've decided to throw them all in the backseat and try to take a look from the outside.
What do people see when they look at me?
Can they see ME or what I pretend to be?
We all wear a mask.
Who will be the first to drop the facade?

I pretend to be strong.
I'm weak.

I pretend to always be happy.
I'm sad.

I pretend that I am ok with everything.
I'm just too afraid to tell you that I'm not.

I pretend that I don't care.
I always care.

I pretend that I don't know.
I always do.

I pretend that I am brave.
I am a terrified child.

I pretend that I don't need any one.
I need you.

I pretend.
And so do you .
