Laugh, when I want to cry
Smile and joke, when I would love to scream
Sing, when I would much rather be silent
Love, when I want to hate
Pretend like I don't want what I would give anything for
Sleep, when I'm feeling wide awake
Act like ignorance is bliss, when I know it isn't
Take the words like they are nothing, as they cut me
Rationalize your actions, when you don't deserve it
And forgive, but never forget
