Pretending

Location

Surroundings aren't difficult to notice when you're alone
Noticing every single action
making you realize nobody values your presence and you're thrown
it all turns out to be like a chain reaction

 

It's difficult staying strong because nobody ever bothers to ask

having to pretend nothing is bothering you so you have to put on a mask

when you don't have a single friend

all you have to do is pretend

 

Waking up in the morning
Going to the mirror, it's like a warning

"Practice your smile

we're gonna have to go through another trial

It will be a struggle

but someday you'll reach the bright end of the tunnel."

 

There is always hope.
