Pretending
June 8, 2009
Pretend it doesn’t hurt,
Pretend there’s nothing wrong.
Pretend that it’s all good,
Pretend that you can stay strong.
Don’t let anyone see the battle in your mind.
Don’t open those prison gates for anyone but you.
Lock up the criminals and push away whispers of the crimes.
To them you’re normal,
To you you’re far from it.
