Pretend You Don't See

November 30, 2014

If you see my hands shaking

Ignore them

If my smile ever slips

Don’t comment

Pretend you don’t see

The imperfections

Let me be

Who I wish I really was

I can’t have you think I’m crazy

Too

I doubt myself enough

For all of us

If you didn’t believe

In my facade

I don’t think I could believe

In myself
