Acting is My Life

Location

I go through the day, acting like its all okay.

I try to go unnoticed.

Try but fail.

 

Failing...

Failing...

Fail...

 

I strive to impress.

Craving for their approval.

For my peers appeal.

 

I feel as if I'm falling.

 

Falling...

Falling...

Fall...

 

SPLAT!

 

If I fell would you catch me?

 

I tell them I'm okay.

I can make it through this.

I lie.

 

Lying...

Lying...

Lie...

 

If they only saw what goes through my head when no one else is around.

Would they still love me if they knew?

Knew what makes me tick...

 

Ticking...

Ticking...

Tick...

 

And the clock stops...

The curtains open.

The mask goes on.

 

I act as if every thing is fine.

I love acting.

But in the end that's all it really is, isn’t it?

 

♥An act.♥
