People fall for the superficial things.
How you look, how you talk, how you laugh, how you behave in front of others.
People fall for the pretend.
Nobody falls for the real.
Nobody falls for how you love, how want to feel loved more than anything else in this whole world, how you hold your stomach when you laugh like crazy, how you cry with joy, how your eyes sparkle when you talk about things that you are passionate about, how you feel so deeply that you struggle to breathe, how you try to smile even when you are tearing down inside, how you feel pain, how you are put down but you refuse to break down, how you try to build yourself but still struggle to hide the cracks, how you stand up for yourself, how your eyes blaze with fury when someone insults your loved one, how you clench your fist, nails digging in your palm so as to stop yourself from speaking your mind, how sometimes you do speak your mind, how you are opinionated, how you still believe in yourself, how you are not afraid to show that you care, how you never lose faith, how you trust that there is still good in this world, how you hold on to that one last piece of sanity.
How you hope, oh, how you hope that someone will choose you over everyone else.
