Pretend
I wake up every morning with this weight of anxiety on my chest
but I go on about my day and pretend its not there.
At times I feel like I have no control and wish this wasn't me
Its my mind that has control though, so I pretend its not there.
You want to cry, you want to scream, just want it to go
But instead you have to deal and pretend its not there.
The thoughts and feelings I have seem to take over
I sit tight, hang on, and pretend its not there.
It robs you, taking your happiness, replacing it with a fake smile
But it's all that I'm used to, so I just pretend not to care.....
