I put on.
A fake smile.
Walking for what seems.
Like miles.

Pretending.
To be okay.
When in reality.
I'm in so much pain.

"Bitch!"
They insult me.
"Mistake!"
They hate me.

I pretend that I.
Don't hear them.
Pretend.
That I'm fine.

Crying through.
The night.
Not seeing.
The light.

Pretending that I don't.
Feel the emotion
When really.
I'm completely, utterly broken.
