SECRETS AND LIES

-Laica Casipe

I will act happy even though in reality

I'm breaking inside but still I choose to hide

I will act like its okay even though I don't feel that way

I will act as if there's no problem even though I'm jealous of them.

I will act like I care even though I'm not really paying attention

I will act like I don't bare any problem so I'll keep my emotion

I will act like there's nothing wrong and just put my emotions in a song

I will tell what they want to hear because losing them is my greatest fear.

I'll pretend to be alone when in reality, I'm longing for companion

I'll pretend to be strong, when the truth is I'm weak and fragile

I'll pretend that I'm smiling

When I really feel like crying.

This is the art of pretending in a world where everyone are just acting

In a place where every people are lacking

Where everyone wear masks, faces full of smiles

But behind that tears are kept and reaching happiness really take miles.
