Pretend I’m alright, Act like I’m just fine, Do you see the battle march, In every step I climb?
Pretend I’m alright, Act like I’m just fine, Hope you don’t see the bitter pain, That hides behind my eyes.
Pretend I’m alright, Act like I’m just fine, Hope you don’t catch the resentful rage, That burns within my mind.
Pretend I’m alright, Act like I’m just fine, Trying not to show the hurt, Won’t let you see the memories that bind, They haunt me every night, But it's best for you, I keep it all inside.
Pretend I’m alright, Act like I’m just fine, Know that nothing matters more, Than what you see on the outside.
Pretend I’m alright, Act like I’m just fine, Won’t explain how my trust is broken, How all the words feel like lies.
Don’t believe a thing they say, Count the times I’ve been betrayed, Watch as they stumble once again, Breaking promises they can’t defend. And I see it’s time to give up hope, And close this door, Letting go.
Pretend I’m alright, Act like I’m just fine, Swallowing sorrow, Toughening my heart inside.
Pretend I’m alright, Act like I’m just fine, Reminding me you don’t care, And this numbness is all mine.
I love how you accurately described the modern problems that I face too! I am bi and I am a quarter indian, so I get some backlash sometimes. Ur valid and I support ur opinion 100%!!! <3
hello & welcome to ywp!! there's already lots of answers for you on this thread haha but i'll add my own!
no, ywp is for any kind of writing and any kind of art!! a lot of people on here love to write and read poetry. I do, so I post a lot of poetry but I also post essays and short stories and photographs. you can post whatever writing and/or art you would like to share on here! we'll read, comment, and support whenever you do
First I think this is gorgeous just the way it is but, I took it and made it flow and rhyme a bit better if your interested. I'm absolutely no poet but, I love rhyming.
You're not alone in feeling this way! At the end of the day, though, we have to do what we gotta to take care of ourselves. Please remember it's okay to take a break, take time to yourself, and not follow societies expectations every single moment! From personal experience I know that's hard, but trust me the cycle can be broken!
Okay, I love the title. The direct translation is "Think on the Cauliflower" and I thought hm I must be reading that wrong. I am in fact not lol. This is such a fun poem and I love the final line, I don't think you should change it! Good job!!

I love rhyming too :) Helps compensate for my lack of metaphor lol (and basically everything else)
I love how you accurately described the modern problems that I face too! I am bi and I am a quarter indian, so I get some backlash sometimes. Ur valid and I support ur opinion 100%!!! <3
