Pretending Every Day

And yesterday they said,
They listen to EDM
And today I went and sang
Songs I learnt yesterday
Before that they said
They dislike book worms
And I hid 
My copy of Mansfield Ranch
Even before that they wanted my notes
And the naive me, gave it
Too late to realise that they only talked to me
When they needed those notes
Somewhere in between
They said they like eyeliners
I bought one that very day
And wore it daily
Today when I look in the mirror
I don't recognise the face staring back at me
Pretending so long
To fit in, to be someone else
I have forgotten who I am
Or who I perhaps was

I have seen people pretending so that someone likes them. THAT’S. NOT. HEALTHY.

Be yourself ’cause no one’s better
