There is a boy

The boy shows confidence

The boy shows pride

But that is only on the outside

What he wants people to see

What he wants to think of himself

But the boy is a liar

The boy doesn't have confidence

The boy hates how he looks

The boy cares what people think of him

The boy is scared

The boy doesn't know what to do with himself

The boy wants to be normal

But what is normal?

He can never find the answer to that

The boy wants to be confident

He can't

He is insecure

He is depressed

He has anxiety

He has fears that lead to panic attacks

Does he get help?

No.

He thinks he has nothing that needs to be helped

He thinks what he is going through are silly

He thinks that his problems don't lead to depression, anxiety, etc.

He thinks they are just going to go away

But deep down inside he knows

He knows one day he will fall

He knows one day his mask that he puts on for show will fall

He knows no one will believe his mask is real

Because the boy is running out of time

And people can only pretend for so long until they break

Put he still holds on to the mask and believes that his lies are true

The boy wants to fit in

The boy knows he can't

The boy knows

His time is up.
