My truth

Wanna know my truth?

No you don't

The world's a hard place but right now it feels so much harder

there's people actually hurting but I'm hurting too

fake hurting

fake fake fake

and I thought I was the realest person I knew 

well

when laughter comes cheap

and everything else is expensive

and your parents' problems become yours

ask them all

you wanna know my truth?

And if they say yes

lie.

    When you're scared you stop doing things you love

    because you don't know what's next

    and I've been thinking so far ahead

    getting so competitive

    I forgot what it's all about

    Grades are tanking

    hope is failing

    I am a pile of busywork and small talk

    a job I need to pay for my dream

    a dream I've given up on

    it's safer to give up than to pursue

    pursuing hurts more than it's worth
