PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

let's put on a show

mask our distorted faces

pretend that we're all happy

cause why should anyone else know

how truly sad we are

let's put on a play

and smile like we mean it

no one needs to know

that our hearts are broken

or that there are thoughts

jumbled in our heads

that i wouldn't exactly call nice

let's all play pretend

and while we're at it

let's play house

you can be the daddy

and i'll be the mommy

and our little broken hearts

can be our little crying kids

but if we treat our kids

like we're treating our broken hearts

we'll get a nice little visit

from those nice people

that like to take nice little kids

out of their "nice" homes

and put them in even "nicer" homes

but hey, who cares right?

we're all happy happy happy

no ones sad

and the ones who are "sad"

are usually playing make believe as well

so we're all switching roles

we're all a bunch of pretenders

walking around like dumbasses.
