Fake
I don't count on happiness
Or expect perfection
The day comes and goes
With a shallow ache of rejection
I paste a smile on my face
Tell my parents I had a good day
Listen to loud music to hear the noise
Get stuck between the bathrooms for girls and boys
Questioning myself and my choices
Ignoring the whispers of condescending voices
I try to be helpful... Try to be good
I use my manners like any good kid should
I hide behind fake cheerfulness
And hide from the world with fantasy
Video games and anime consume my days
While I hide from the sun and its blinding rays
I spend so much time being someone else
That slowly but surely I lose myself
