Pretense
28 December, 2003
Author: Charmaine
All I ever wanted,
All I ever longed for,
Was for one day to go by,
Where I'm not pretending I'm happy.
I’m tired of the pretense,
Of the act I have to put up,
Of the smiles I have to smile,
Just to show that I’m happy.
I’m breaking down,
I’m losing control,
I’m drained from all the tears,
That I’ve shed all this time.
All I ever want,
Is to be happy again,
To be without a single care,
To smile genuinely again…
