it's easy to pretend

But I've always had a bit more trouble.

Put on a happy face. Sure thing. But I'll still need some outlet, and honestly, I couldn't stand to be back in there right now. There was too much scum surrounding me.

I think it's bullshit, if you can't fight for what you believe in.

Because if you can't do what's right, then what's left?

I hold grudges. Not out of petulance, but because I can't change what I feel. To forgive and to forget are two separate things, but I'd like to do them at the same time. I think you should expose your emotions. I don't mean because it's unhealthy to bottle them up, but because if you hide them, then...you're lying to more than just yourself. Emotions. Here's mine: I feel cheated. I shouldn't care this much, but somehow I do, and I shouldn't be so disappointed in you, but somehow I am.

Wait, no. It's my fault, really.
I had too much faith in humanity.
