You’ll never heal
if you keep pretending you aren’t hurt
You’ll never heal
if you keep acting like it never happened
You’ll never heal
if you keep pretending that moving on is easy
You’ll never heal
if you keep pretending you don’t miss them
You’ll never heal
if you keep pretending that you are fine
You’ll never heal
if you keep acting like life is always fun
You’ll never heal
if you don’t let yourself grieve
You’ll never heal
if you keep pretending

Probably why I’m a bit of a hermit, hate pretending.And the world calls for it…
So true. A very powerful poem!
