Actors

Dull eyes, broken smile
Fake laugh, pretend friends
I lie, I’m not okay
I pretend that I don’t care
An actor is all I am
When night falls, I am myself
I don’t hold back, I don’t pretend
No one cares, I know this now
An actor is all I am

Very cleverly penned - maybe we are all actors and actresses in some areas of our lives as the truth may not be what we or others want to hear:-) Hugs jan xx
