Today I can not pretend
That I am ok
The world got too heavy
To handle again

I’m trying to put on a smile
On my face
But it just feels like my mouth
fell out of place

I’m trying to be
Polite, friendly and kind
But I scream ‚screw you all‘
In my mind

Today I can not pretend
That I am alright
The world made me
Too tired to fight

I’m trying to put out
My weapons and arms
But I am the only one
Being harmed

I’m trying to hide
Away from it all
But my emotions break down
Every protective wall

Today I can not pretend
That I am fine
The world has put me
Out on the line

Today I will just
Let it be
Tomorrow the world’ll look different
hopefully
