I’m pretending.

It is neverending.

I break myself apart.

I put myself together.

I build myself up, to withstand any weather.

I skip.

I jump.

I walk.

I crawl.

Whatever you want,

I can do it all.

When you’re not looking,

I fall.

I break.

I cry.

How can you be overlooking,

all the cracks?

I’ll hold myself together.

I promise, I’ll try.
