Fake

Fake smiles

Fake laughs

Fake responses

Fake jokes

Fake being comfortable 

Fake being fine

Fake being okay

Like I haven’t been

In a long long time

Fake all the normal 

Fake all the time

I’m faking it all

But what choice do I have

When there’s demons inside me

And I’m hiding from them

Fake all the wisdom

For I have non

Fake all the tricks

There are monsters inside me

Who long to be freed

There are monsters inside me

And they are filled with greed

So I’ll fake all the smiles and happiness and joy

So I’ll fake all the sleeping and choices and more

So I’ll fake my normal

And I’ll fake my life

For if all is fake

Then I have nothing to fear
