Pretend


Depression, Aggression, and Anxiety far spread

Loneliness, Selfishness, and Greed fills your head

Apathy, not angrily, you stare at the wall

Unwillingly, you’re forced to be okay with it all

You put on a smile, pretend for a while

That the world will always go on

The problems get solved if you don’t get involved

So you bottle your problems one by one
