Artificially Sweet

life isn’t full of lemons

& lemonade can be sour

 

but you keep smiling

through the bitter

& you keep saying 

that everything is sweet

 

& you look all cool

but you are always feeling cold

 

& you keep adding 'sugar'

but only to deceive them

as your life is artificial

 

& your identity isn't real
