i'm not myself

I pretend that everything is good

I pretend that I am well

I pretend that I am playing

I pretend that I am happy

I pretend that I am normal

I pretend that I am laughing

I pretend that I am safe

I pretend that I am loved

I pretend I am not crying

I pretend I am not lonely

I pretend I am not scared

I pretend that I am brave

I pretend you did not hurt me

I pretend you did not touch me

I pretend I have my innocence

I pretend it never happened

I pretend to myself

I pretend to my friends

I’m still pretending

pretend not to say anything

pretend not to confess

pretend to keep quiet
