LETS PLAY PRETEND

You be happy
& I will too.
Let's not waste our energy
until we get into the world.

Wake up
get yourself dressed.
Just as we walk out the door
we put on our masks.

Shield your tears
don't let them shed.
Put on a smile
don't let it drop.

Don't let them see
the real pain in your eyes.
Don't let them know
the real emotions.

Make them believe
nothing is ever wrong.
Make them believe
let's just play pretend.

I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS PREGNANT WITH MY SON. IT WAS ABOUT ME AND HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER WHO CAUSED ME WAY TOO MUCH STRESS WHILE I WAS PREGNANT.
