Sit up straight

Head up high

Smile back

Stare meaninglessly

Empty eyes of all emotion

Pretend to be happy

Hold back your tears

Hide your scars

Cover up your flaws

Act with confidence

Laugh at everything

Don't reveal your true colours

Never let someone in

Lie to their faces

It's all...fake

Wait until nightfall

Remove your wristbands

Reveal your reality

To the shadows of your room

Take your knife

Make the incision

Watch the blood rise

Feel the rellief

Reflect on the day gone by

Ponder how much more you can take

Clean up the mess

Put away your weapons

Go to sleep

You're so...fake

Watch them

As they pretend to care

Concerns so trivial

Of fashion and the like

They can't see who you are

They don't want to know you

Taking pity

Unwanted sympathy

Shutting you out

Shocked by your revelations

They couldn't cope with the truth

Shattering their little illusion

Refuse to believe it was there

That you were real

They're so...fake
