Pretend Game

The Moonlight 2000 (INDIA)



How do I tell people that
 I am not the person they see
There's lot more that I am capable of
But I am scared really
people judging one another is all I see
for million minute reasons simply.
You make me feel
Neither Confident nor Content
all I feel is not me
nor the person you wanna see
everyday I die a little
Whether its the eyes that Pierce
words that pinch
actions that hurt
opinions that ruin
People that judge
Life that crush
or altogether It's the game where we pretend to each other that we are all normal.
How do I tell people that
 I am not the person they see
There's lot more that I am capable of
But I am scared really.
