Pretend


Is this all life is any more

People that we have met once or never met at all

But they are friends

Something that we wished we were or might possibly be

Because otherwise our life is really just so mundane

We all wear masks to hide behind all happy and cheerful

So no one can possibly guess how really bad off we are

We hide behind our purchases and things

Because they make us seem successful

We have huge online personalities

Because we have actually forgotten how to be a person

We befriend and interact with people seemingly so casual

Knowing we will not have to ever really speak to them again

Someday all of this charade will actually crumble

Maybe just maybe then we won't have to pretend

Or are we all preprogramed To just follow a path Little variations but all in the same general direction Where did freedom go Do we really have a choice anymore?
