she was good at pretending,
pretending everything's okay
pretending she's not dying inside
hiding what she wants to say

she fit the mold
society's strict rules
how to dress and how to act
turning everyone into fools

one day, everything changes
she stands out
no longer pretending
her mind free from doubt

she could be free
who she wanted to be
no longer a mindless clone
and she was not alone

stand up!
