You'll Seem


Chew gum; To hide the hunger From the meal you didn't eat. Smile; To hide your pain. Go to a party; So you don't seem antisocial. Play on your phone; To make them think you are texting. You'll be skinny. You'll seem happy. You'll seem cool. You'll seem popular. But who are you, really?
