In a world where pretence holds its sway,
Why do we choose to hide, day by day?
Why paint a smile upon lips that ache,
When truth within our hearts is at stake?
Falsehood, a shield we often don,
To guard our vulnerability, we con.
But why lie about how we truly feel,
When authenticity brings wounds to heal?
Empty promises, a deceitful dance,
Leaving shattered trust in its advance.
Why make commitments we cannot keep,
When honesty is what our souls should reap?
For behind the façade, what do we gain?
A fragile peace that crumbles with each strain.
In the labyrinth of pretence, we’re lost,
Seeking an exit at a heavy cost.
Let truth be the foundation we lay,
To find solace in its purest display.
For genuine words hold the power to heal,
And mend the broken hearts that falsely kneel.
Let not the fear of vulnerability bind,
The soul’s desire to be genuine, to find
A world where honesty is the key,
Unlocking the doors to harmony.
So let us shed the cloak of pretence,
Reveal truths our souls can recompense.
For in the realm of authenticity,
Resides compassion and true unity.
