An Expert
I have become an expert.
An expert of pretending.
I've fooled so many people.
Made them think I'm so good.
That I'm okay. That I'm fine.
That I'm happy.
But really I'm not.
For I am dead inside.
I tried for so long
To act like I'm okay.
Lied to myself for a long time.
Tried to make myself believe it.
So now I don't care.
I'm finally accepting it.
And there's nobody who
Can stop me.
Cause I'll keep pretending
For the benefit of others.
Just to keep my secret.
For I am forever gone.
