Standing Tall

I still stand up
when its all crashing down.
cant fake the smiles
so get used to the frown.

No more pretending
hurts too much to pretend.
god forbid, all i asked is for a friend.

My lifes gone to hell
i thought you cared.
but obviously you dont
something i feared.

Hang in there... There's some one out there some where... a friend. Great write... Sorry for your pain. It is undoubtedly real. My condolences.
