It must be hard
To be someone you’re not
You keep on pretending
But still can’t fit in

You want to be in
You tried everything
Just to be with the crowd
You’ve become someone you’re not

Can’t you see the difference?
They’re shoving it in your face

Everything’s changing
And your life’s falling
Still you’re turning away
Away from reality
And as the lights fade out
That when you realize
That it’s the real you that matters
Not the person you’ve become

Stop Pretending by Michelle Castillo

(unfinished lyrics…unfinished song)
