A Truthful lie

Pretending

There are 4 of us , completely different yet exactly the same
1 I smile, just to hide the pain
2 I frown push people away
3 I yell to make it seem okay
4 I love; to distract from the day
We each have a mindset a goal.
To make people smile
To protect myself
To be heard
To be wanted by someone else
A wish
True happiness
Feeling safe
Someone listening
True love, one day
We each have a problem
Family
Friends
School
Heartbreak
But we hang out with people who could care less about our pain
We look in a mirror hate what we see
Look at each other and ignore what we need.
Pretending is our speciality
But it's also our defeat
It's what we use to show the world
That we are all we need
In truth we need a hug
A thought to take away
A friend who has our back
Till the very end of the day
Pretending is our speciality
Sadly so it's said
But pretending is also our downfall
Because pretending is not how we were bred.

We had to write poems that are Real and about how we feel, tell me what you think, I have one more.
