Perhaps she got lost very deeply
Into the abyss of pretending-
Which she suppose is an art,
That’s into all of us
And just are unknown about;
Cause it feels so regular and fervent
She has been doing it since forever
She, has really restrained it
It seems very disheartening
Herself-
Was although eager to ask:
The mirror on the wall
‘How are you doing?’
But a string of gravity in her heart
Pulled and dragged her very nether
Their eyes couldn’t meet
And got watery in an instant
Everything was illusionated
Felt like-
She lost her true self, her actuality
Pretending
Possibly forgot who she is
The fake she is the fake-real she now
Plastic smile always appears; itself
No permission taken or given
The journey to please everyone
Even when it felt dismal
Sounds unfairly fair to-
Avert being dragged through the mud
Endeavoring to fit ‘hers truly’
Pristine and minty
It’s true that happiness looks good on her
But simulated happiness looks much better
She’s good at being vanilla
‘I’m good at being vanilla’
