PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I keep on pretending

that life is going just fine,

that I’m alright.

I keep my struggles out of sight,

not wanting anyone to know

what I am truly going through.

Knowing I can hide nothing from You,

I keep on pretending

in front of others.

I can’t let anyone see my weakness.

I can’t let anyone see my failures,

why, what would they think?

They couldn’t possibly understand,

so I keep on pretending.
