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.
