Everyday pretences

What kind of world do we live in..?

Where a false sense of dignity overrides the strength of laying your soul bare..

Where watering down your very essence by biting your tongue till it bleeds is a sign of endurance..

Where piling on fake smiles in the wake of pain is valued more than coming out and confessing that you're falling apart..

Where shutting out everything that might cause you pain is a sign of maturity..

Where 'keeping it together' is valued more than getting washed away in the torrents of what feeds your soul..

Where the future and our interpretation of what it might hold forces us to live every moment of the present in fear..
