How do i pretend?

How do I pretend to be happy when I am sad, Pretend that my day is going well when it is bad. How do i pretend that I do not know the difference between the right and wrong, Pretend that I am strong even when i am not. How do I pretend to smile when I drown, Pretend that I do not have words to say out loud. How do I pretend that I do not have a heart of gold? Something inside of me that never gets old. Something inside of me I want someone to hold.
