I don’t think I can anymore
Pretending happiness
Pretending success
Pretending joy
Pretending
Pretence
Tag pretence
Fake Hug
I cannot pretend to love
I have nothing more to give
I have no golden magic wand
And my arms are not long enough
To caress the world in a giant
Fake hug
Pretence
Is my smile too wide
Is my laugh too loud
Am I too happy?
If I smile and wave
And I call your name
Will I reveal myself?
If I smile and blush
And speak out loud
Will my feelings show?
Should I just be still
Or if I look your way
Will it be a stare?
Am I too happy?
