pretending

hiding, pretending, and lying is all very hard work. it takes skill, quickness, patience, a great poker face, a steady hand and heart, and a beautiful fake smile to keep yourself in control. nod your head, even when you don't want to hear the truth. inquire, even though you probably don't want to know. act like it doesn't mean a thing, even when you want to cover your ears. turn on that brave face, even when it hurts.

the truth is as hard to keep up as the fiction.
