I can play pretend
I can put on a good show
I can hide it all
so nobody will know
I can smile
and laugh in front of my friends
I can pretend everythings fine
always will be and always ahs been
I can keep it in
I can hold back all the tears
I can be miss.happy
and pretend I dont have fears
I know its hard
but I can do it
I done it thing long
I can get thru it
I feel like a doll
being dressed to what people want
I can hide behind the dark clothes and make up
But i can pretend I'm happy
I can act like im fine
until I get alone
and cry myself to sleep at night

I feel like this sometimes. Like I'm trying to be someone that everyone wants me to be, when I really need to be myself. And even though I need to be myself, sometimes I don't even know what my true self is like, so it's hard.
Great poem! I really like it!! -
