Pretend
pretnFor years she pretended
lived her life acting as if nothing ever happened
like there was nothing wrong.
fooling everyone
all those around her
she lived a lie.
on the outside she seemed so happy
so full of life
inside she was suffering
completely empty inside
hiding behind fake laughter
and fake smiles
she wore a mask
disguised herself
for protection
there was no going back.
no one would ever know who she really was
no one would ever get that close
weak she felt very voulnerable
like she was losing control
bruised and badly beaten defeated
she lost all hope
the light faded there was no way out
she was trapped
for all eternity, she gave up there was only darkness now,
