Why is it that we all have to boast,
But ignore the ones we love the most?
Why is it that we all act tough,
But will cry at the simplest stuff?
Why is it that we love the ones that aren’t there,
But disrespect the ones that love and care?
There’s a mask we put on at the start of the race,
That we wear to cover up and hide our face.
We all like to pretend we are happy with ourselves,
When really we feel like we’re on the lower shelves.
We love to pretend that we don’t care,
When really we’re upset that they aren’t there.
The society we live with is plastic and fake,
We don’t realise the change we can make.
