Acting by Ahmad *** I feel like sometimes we are very good at acting Very good at putting on a show When we are really feeling something else inside We teach ourselves That certain feelings Certain things are unnacceptable We are supposed to be civil We are supposed to put on a good face We are supposed to hide the negative feelings The dark feelings that well up inside of us If we don't accept ourselves for who we are For better or for worst We will keep acting Keep playing the part that everyone else has for us Afraid to stop acting And to live our own lives And to keep us from truly expressing The uniqueness that everyone has inside
