i could starve myself
and still be fat
change my hair
and turn it black
cut my wrists
and watch them bleed
smoke cigarettes
and smoke weed
wear cute clothes
that don't fit
laugh at jokes that i don't get
pretend to be everyone's friend
and they turn their back again
put on make up
and dye my hair
still at me
they laugh and stare
think i'm pathetic
think i'm gross
still at me
they laugh and boast
i can pretend i've got what they've got
but why pretend
i'm something i'm not
why wear a mask
when they all look the same
why play their pathetic
pretend game
when all they're going to do
is reject and never accept you
why should we pretend
and wear a cheap disguise
put on a stupid mask
and hide behind their lies
Submission Name: Pretend
