Fake

by nicholleriley

I'm tired of it I’m not someone else, I'll never be, I'm tired of faking, I'm tired of pretending, I'm tired of being someone I'm not I can't be myself, When I'm around them, Expectations and regulations, Precision and perfection I can't help who I am It's who I was born as I can't pretend, Pretend I'm someone I'm not.
