Pretence.

It is so easy to convince myself of anything.
It is so easy to pretend.

It's socially acceptable only to be happy
or at least content
so I play the part.
Sometimes I even believe it's true.

And I want so badly to feel
something
anything.
a Connection.
to Something.
Someone.

So I imagine that these feelings are genuine.
I convince myself it's real.
I create a life, a world around something I've
made up
in
my
head.
