thoughts at 3am
December 7, 2017
Everything about me is fake
I don’t mean nails
Or hair extensions
Or tan
Or my ‘lashes
coloured contacts, teeth
or clothes
I mean my laugh
The smile in my eyes
The "pretending-everything-is-ok"
Once you strip away all the materialistic things
I promise you’ll be disappointed
But that’s real
That’s me
As I am, unfortunately
