FAKER
I'm a Leo
But I've never felt so cowardly.
I'm an extrovert
But I've never felt so alone.
I'm an open book
But my pages are missing.
I'm a cheerful person
But I've never felt so glum.
I'm a helper
But I can't help myself.
I want to be Perfect
But I can't be more flawed.
I'm tired of pretending
But the mask I wear is now stuck to my face with dried sweat and tears.
I've been acting like someone else for so long I've forgotten who I am.
I've gone through my life acting like someone I'm not
For so long, I've forgotten who I am.
