One Seventy Seven

 Got inspired off of 177...
 
 
 i'm pretending to everyone
 pretending to be happy
 when i'm not
 pretending everythings okay
 when it's not
 why the facade?
 whats wrong with the truth?
 because pity is hard to take
 because sympathy can stifle
 because maybe my life,
 isn't as bad as yours
 it seems as though
 we all pretend
 pretend to be happy
 pretend things are okay
 because the truth is harder
 because we're scared
 because we wonder,
 what would you say
 if you knew?
