Mr. Pretend
You with the sad eyes, empty
The smile on your lips is foreign, unhappy
An imposter of positivity, hollow inside
Life leaves you, when people subside
You with the hopelessness, walking
The flesh is tired but, you are still breathing
Trying to stay afloat, they pin holes
They never give up, those vile souls
Don't give up, keep moving forward
When do you stop trying, is it downward?
Don't be discouraged, time will heal
Words don't come easy, when you don't feel
Lighten up, keep going, don't look back
Those cheers are fading, losing track
Sometimes, I apply them, better days
Pretending to be content is hard, running out of ways
There are others with worse fates than Yours, that's sure
Makes you angry and grateful, strength to endure
You with the ongoing painful life, hoping for the end
It hurts, it's tiring, it's unfair but, keep alive the hope and pretend
