A great pretender I may be
For hiding what inside of me
Misty eyes make dazzling and shine
Fancy smile make sweet and fine
Glamorous dresses veil of my insecurity
Sparkling jewelries wrap my anxiety
Acting tough and stubborn not to figure my weaknesses
Showing I have the world not to sense the emptiness
I used to lie and deny for the sake of my pride
I used to laugh so loud even there’s bleeding inside
Word of love not in my list I admit it’s just a trick
Being alone is my beseech though it makes me sick
I keep saying “it’s alright” even it tears me apart
I keep playing safe 'coz I’m scared of getting hurt
Killing sadness frozen my emotion….
I am slave from fear and pretension……….
