Pretend Pretend.Pretend by ~EnchantedAshes
Pretend you don't care.
Pretend that
it doesn't hurt,
it never has,
it never will.
I see.
I won't say.
Be cold,
Be indifferent.
Be strange.
Hide.
Be alone.
But still laugh,
Still be here,
Don't go away.
Curled up,
Secluded
inside
your own essence,
a bubble that can't be broken.
I won't intrude,
But I won't pretend I don't care.
"Everybody hates you"
not.
You are loved because you are you.
Don't change,
but don't pretend either.
Be yourself.
