"i promise,"
she smiled.
"i'm trying."
"i'm lying,"
her heart sang.
"i'm dying."
"i swear,"
he insisted.
"i'm okay."
"i'm faking,"
his heart pleaded.
"i'm a waste."
"we vow,"
the nation stated.
"we're perfect."
"we're fading,"
their hearts screamed.
"we're worthless."
"i know,"
the soul whispered.
"but what can I do?"
"it's simple,"
the world replied.
"just don't be you."
