Act


I act too much.

I act like everything is okay,

when it's really not.

I act like nothing can hurt me,

when I'm breaking on the inside.

I act like I don't need anyone, 

when I'm craving for someone to listen.

I act like I don't have a care in the world, 

when I have the worries of the world on my back.

I act.
