Pretend
Walking along the broken road I will smile
And pretend everything is okay
No longer reaching out for the comfort of those who I thought I could rely on
No longer speaking unless spoken too like is expected
Nothing is wrong because everyone else is happy
So restrain the screaming in your head
The beating of your breaking heart
The ache in your lungs every time you gasp for air
Fade away like an old picture
Keep replaying like a broken record
Sit there like a little doll
It doesn't matter
Things are okay because your world is filled with the magic
You surround yourself with
Fantasy is your reality because
Every ending is happy
And pretend everything is okay
No longer reaching out for the comfort of those who I thought I could rely on
No longer speaking unless spoken too like is expected
Nothing is wrong because everyone else is happy
So restrain the screaming in your head
The beating of your breaking heart
The ache in your lungs every time you gasp for air
Fade away like an old picture
Keep replaying like a broken record
Sit there like a little doll
It doesn't matter
Things are okay because your world is filled with the magic
You surround yourself with
Fantasy is your reality because
Every ending is happy

"JADED" would have been another good title for the poem. LOL
But, I like "Pretend".
I enjoyed this piece, silentlyrics. Its edgy, melancholic, introverted, contemplative. I can almost guess your age after reading it, with the grey sort of indifference in your voice. Well done.
