Pretend

I am going to pretend,
Like nothing at all is wrong,
I am going to fake it,
And pretend to be strong.

I am going to hide,
The cuts under my sleeve,
I am going to pretend,
And hope everyone believes.

I will fake my little smile,
Laugh like nothings wrong,
Try to pretend,
And fake it all day long

Until I get home,
And I will fall apart,
Softly shut my door,
And make my own sort of art.

The next day will be the same,
I will wear my fake smile,
Laugh when I have to,
And hope it lasts awhile.

But one day,
And I hope it is soon,
I will cut too deep,
And I will be gone of all my gloom

There will be no more fake smiles,
From a girl who just pretends,
No more fake laugh,
For the girl who wants it to end.
