Your Rampant Insecurities
I won't pretend to understand when you leave me confused as hell.
I won't pretend I care when the topic turns blatantly trivial.
I won't pretend that I'm surprised when I notice what we refer to as a pattern of behavior.
I won't pretend that you deserve sympathy when we both know it's your own fault.
I won't pretend I'm sleeping when I know you need to talk.
I won't pretend I'm awake when you wake me in the middle of a good dream.
I won't pretend I've never been there when I'm the one who paved that road.
I won't pretend that you need support when I know damn well you should do it on your own.
I won't pretend that I'm not going to be there just to trick you into trying it alone.
Some people might get put off by the truth... and the fact that I will hold up exactly what I am, faults and all, to their face and smile behind my masterpiece. And I won't pretend that I enjoy being confident enough to do that.
I'm not perfect... but I won't pretend that I think I am. I actually DO think I am.
