The Cage of Pretended Happiness
Embrace true freedom
Is there any truth
As true as the truth that exists
Knowing, seeing
But pretending not to understand
Not accepting some things that you feel
Force yourself to deceive and accept
Things that hurt your heart
Having to endure being in a cage of feelings
Without thinking about external freedom
Telling yourself to wait
Waiting for some hope
Something that you feel that sometimes it's not true
Stupid happiness, fake happiness
With someone you barely know
Being busy searching for your own happiness
Until you forget to take care of your feelings every day
Day after day
Until you forget to think about the key that is in front of you
Just reach out and grab
Release yourself, release your heart
To a new freedom
That may be greater and more beautiful than before
