Pretend
A constant disappointment
In those I pretend to trust
Being betrayed by all
Who choose to give into lust

Showing them large reactions
But inside remaining numb
Trying to hide the stoicism
Of the person I've become

Sacrificing their happiness
As they continue to cause me pain
Forgiving all their mistakes
As I act like I am sane

I shield them from the truth
That they're not mature enough to see
But until they help themselves
I will never be free
