It’s Just Make Believe
i made it up
the appearance of strength
the wispy laugh, the bashful eyes
the know it all persona
just to get along
fake it till you make it,
served up in a veggie roll
i won’t consume
but i expect you to
nonetheless, wont you turn loose with me?
forget about your contempt for me
for just one night
and console all the facades i had to concoct
just to make this turquoise dress fit right…
the mascara that i cried off 4 times today
to arrive here…
and put it on again in the bathroom is a waste
if you don’t see it!
all the anthems about independent women apply to me
until it comes to you…
but i fill my spirit with this lemonade
just in case it gets too hot to handle
and i’m out of shade
caught in a revolving door
of mind numbing brunch, catered lunch
and the occasional masquerade
with little else to do but entertain you
i made it up
