I Wish

I'd like to say I'm fine now
But that would be a lie
And that this smile is always real
It's a secret that I cry
I want to say I welcome the night
After this tortured day
That I have strong self-belief
But I must still pray
I'd like to believe that I'm content
Except I need more love
Belief that this is where I want to be
But I could always fly above
I want to look in a mirror
And not be a fake
See my mother now
And not feel like a mistake
I don't want to keep pretending
How happy I should be
Not keep trying to forget this life
Cos I hate being me
