I'm an actress.
Like in a movie.
My first part,
A popular.
Everyone likes the new kids,
And we banded together.
My next part,
Silly, happy, innocent.
I hated everyone i used to be like.
My new part,
My life now.
I'm still acting.
I think.
I've gotten that good.
No one knows the difference,
Not even me.
Between real and pretend.

Do you ever feel your not actuallynbeing yourself? Like you put on a mask? A facade? Just to capture peoples attention. To be cool. To be anyone you can be? Except yourself, because your afraid if they know the real you, they might not like it??
