Pretend

You are a moon

But you must pretend to be a sun

You are a night

But you must pretend to be a day

Pretend

Pretend

Pretend

They tell you to be real

But you never can

It doesn't feel right

You must face hate

And misunderstanding

And more fakeness

And ignorance

They will not believe you

You will be asking for attention

They will not understand you

Pretend to be happy

Pretend to be ok

Pretend to not care

Pretend to love yourself

It tears you apart

It makes you feel wrong

But you're not wrong

They just will never understand
