I hate how we
Pretend that
The world is
So complete
While in reality
A child is crying
Because he doesn't
Have food to eat
I hate how we
Pretend that everything's
Okay
Meanwhile a mother
Can't get justice
For her daughter
Beaten and raped
I hate how we
Pretend
That everybody's
Perfect
Yet there's a girl
Considering
Suicide as
She tries
To escape it all
I hate how we
Pretend to be
Everything we're
Not
When God made us
Different
So we could
Stand out
