It's all an act. But why?
It's all an act
Why do we pretend?
Pretend we're happy. Pretend we're fine.
Why?
"I don't want my loved ones to worry for me", we say.
If they love you, they know you.
If they know you, your act can't fool them.
Why don't we be who we are?
If people judge you , so what. Whatever you do they're gonna judge you.
Why dont we be sad if we are sad?
Why don't we be angry if we are angry?
Why don't we show we're hurt if we are hurt?
What's the gain in hiding it?
Won't we feel more relieved if we can actually show who we are?
"I might be smiling outside , but inside I'm tearing apart", we say.
Well, if you show us your tearing apart we might be able to help you. We are an interdependent species. Nothing is wrong in us helping you.
"I feel dead nowadays", we say.
Your not feeling dead because your sad and angry and anxious.
Your feeling dead because you stopped being a human. You're a puppet now.
Your not gonna lose anything by showing the world who you are. You're not gonna gain anything by pretending.
You'll become happy one day. You'll be free. Let us help you get there sooner. The human species isn't that horrible.
