Make believe

You say that you're fine,

But here you are Listening to Somebody Else

No voice, like it's 1975.

You say everything is ok,

As you smile and pour

Your fourth glass of wine today.

Lying through your teeth

You go through the routine.

Holding back the secrets you keep.

Pretending if you fake it long enough,

Things will make sense soon enough.

What you don't know is,

Everything happens for a reason.

But right now,

You just need something to believe in.

Sunlight during this rainy season,

A goal that's worth achieving

A dream worth seizing.

You're stuck in a rut

Where your mind is deceiving

And your heart is perceiving.

Nothing makes sense

So you keep grieving,

Desperately searching for a life with meaning.

All you want

Is something to believe in.
