if you pretend long enough
and hard enough
you can almost convince yourself
that you're okay
lies,
were all just lies
lies with legs
and skin
sometimes,
even a pretty face
a nice smile
and a contagious laugh
deep down though
we all lie
verbally and hiding
who we really are
what we really feel
on the outside we can be bright
on the inside we are broken
c.e.
