fake it

It's not easy being quite doing everything your told
so mellow, so chill, so happy and controlled
To take on such a task many can not do
To be corrected all the time told you can't be you
Everything your told you do
Because your just expected to
There is no freedom you have no voice
They choose your path, you have no choice
Your trapped with no way, no where to go
What can you do? not a thing don't you know?
You can't escape, your caged like a pet
You can never be you, I'm willing to bet
If you step out of line just once then prepare
Their gonna flip shit, but their unaware
The boiling blood that runs through your veins
The cuts on your skin, bloody red stains
it pains but your strong you know what to do
just shake it off, be happy be you
pretend an play barbie be who they say
walk in their footsteps let them lead the way
you be their puppet, dance in their light
let tears fall from your face when it's dark in the night
it's alright because the very next day your making them smile
your perfect to them but all the while
Your the perfect girl, happy and nice
but the feeling of love is cold as ice
If you said you were happy, not dying inside
take to this word, girl you just lied...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

another old poem but its one of my favorites <3 ever pretended to be someone your not just because it makes others happy? Then when you stop pretending, it feels wrong because your not what they wanted?
