Why Do We Pretend…?


What is it about us as people?
That we pretend that all is well,
And plaster a smile for the world to see,
When really we are living in hell!

Why do we feel that we have to pretend?
That everything in life is fine!
And let people think us to be happy and bright,
When we are crying all the time!

Does it matter what people think?
About us, about you, about me!
Tell me, why is it important,
That the truth we cant let them see!

I wander about of a day,
And look at the people all around,
Some are sad, some are not…
There are lots of mixed emotions to be found!

So then, why do we pretend?
We say all is well when its not so!
What is it about letting the truth out?
And just letting the falseness go…!

I won't pretend any more,
If I'm happy, or sad that's tough,
I'm not hiding from the eyes of the world,
Whether I'm sad, blue happy or rough!

I think we should all be honest,
Well let's have a great big debate!
I mean after all, we're only human!
And life really and truly is great!
