I have these pockets in my jeans
But they are just for show
If they serve a real purpose
It's not one that I know
It drives me up the wall when I
First realize that they're fake
Each time I try to use them I'll
Still frown with a head shake
It's a problem I can't fix
So it goes on the list
Of all the issues in this world
I wish did not exist
So I smile and I laugh-
Make small talk like a pro
I don't linger on problems
I just let the bad thoughts go
And if I lie awake at night
Wondering if I'm different
If I think of those I know
And how we're all indifferent
Just know I loathe those fake pockets
Because it is so hard
To face all the other things
That leave us hurt and and scarred
