Faking it

These faces surrounding me
Their lips pulled taught
Spewing hate �
Like acid �
About people �
Who they once considered friends �
�
But who am I to pick and choose?
�
Everyday I hope �
Those who I gave my heart to
Who I trusted like family
Will return �
�
But they never do �
They don�t care about me
They don�t care if my heart breaks �
Every night �
If tears flood my vision �
During every intermission �
If my voice gets taught
Every time my thoughts �
Get tangled and caught �
�
So I fake it �
For the people �
Who are still here
To keep me company �
�
But if they knew �
The real me �
My hidden truths �
They�d spew acid �
About me too
