Sometimes I Pretend..
Sometimes I pretend I'm not dead inside.
Sometimes I pretend I actually tried.
Sometimes I pretend my life went as predicted.
Sometimes I pretend I'm not hopelessly addicted.
Sometimes I pretend I've been forgiven.
Sometimes I pretend I deserve this life I live in.
Sometimes I pretend I'm loved and wanted.
Sometimes I pretend no guilt has me haunted.
Sometimes I pretend I'm not emotionally numb.
Sometimes I pretend I'm not the monster I've become.
Sometimes I pretend I recognize my reflection.
Sometimes I pretend happiness isn't just some vague recollection.
These confessions I can't keep concealed.
The roots of my suffering have now been revealed.

Hey, we all pretend to be some of those things. For some of us, it is not sometimes, it is everytime
I liked this very much. I can relate to just about every line. Know you aren't alone.
The only critique i can offer is try experimenting a little by taking out the repetition at the start of every line. It takes on a completely different sound. You might like it.
