[hometext] => Pretending to smile... all of us have done it, or always do. I'm not at all proud of this poem, but I'd rather put it up than let it rot somewhere.
[bodytext] => And I pretend I'm really smiling, Whenever you ask why I'm upset Just to make you go away, To leave me alone... And I pretend I'm really smiling, Whenever you try and get the answers The answers I can't give, Because I don't have them yet... And I pretend I'm really smiling, Whenever you seem concerned I know that you don't care, And you can't convince me you do... And I pretend I'm really smiling, Whenever you tell me not drink Another dose of despair, It alone can heal the pain that I feel... And I pretend I'm really smiling, When I tell you all these things And watch your look of horror, While I pretend to smile...
