Ok everyone, lights! Camera! Action! The blinding lights illuminate the dim room, all I see is white until my eyes adjust. The opening song starts and the melody I've sung hundreds of times comes bursting out. I put pretend meaning behind every word, pretend emotion behind every action. Pretend kisses and pretend crying, pretend joy and pretend sympathy. Each day I repeat this process. The music plays, the light blinds and I pretend. Put on a pretend smile. Pretend you're hungry. Pretend you're excited. It's all a play. It's still fun but it's just pretend. Seeing everything as a play is fun until everything is just pretend.
