I think I like myself a little broken,
because they say we are what we pretend to be.

When people remind that I am better off alone,
I'll pretend to need them.

When I don't love enough,
I'll pretend to care too much.

When I feel empty,
I will pretend to feel alright.

I will be careful of what I pretend to be,
I'll choose the good ones,
so when it comes true,
this person inside me will finally get the kindness it deserves.
