Pretending
Philippians 2:12
Light Bearers
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only,
but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
Driving home on simple facts
Going downhill but out of gas
Nothing but bumps and one flat
In hope that no one else will pass
The journey started out so well
Only a few cares and credit cards
To live it up as you can tell
A smooth skin with just some wards
Now infection has spread all over
Little like close to a depression
Nowhere to go to find some cover
Thrown in the pit of frustration
Who will now pay the price?
It won’t be me, I exist on credit
Pretending all is sugar and spice
Let someone else portray this
I’ll hang on for another day
Still in love with an illusion
Hoping that someone else will pay
the price of my chosen confusion
