Pretending

I’ll pretend it’s ok.

Make everyone happy

I’ll put on my smile

While I’m dying inside

Suffocating struggling for life

Same old worries and strife.

I’m not your Mother

I’m not your unwanted Whore

Why am I still here

I don’t know anymore.

But I’ll pretend it’s ok

Just like before

And I’ll choke back

The tears forevermore

What’s the point in trying

I’ve put back on my smile

See, it hangs slightly bent

Forever more.
