This role I'm playing is exhausting
Of watching you watching me
Of smiling, of laughing
Of not cracking when you blink
This being human is tiring,
Its not as great as they said it would be
The acting, the pretending,
The standing strong when you're weak
This staying alive thing is excruciating
Of being in pain and wishing to be free
Of trying, of crying
Of not being able to be me
