do we all live to please? is that why all our smiles are turning plastic, and all the words, superficial? deep down inside are we all afraid that one day we'l have no more friends who will stand by us in times of trouble? will we perpetually have gossips revolving around us? are we all trying too hard to be nonchalant, pretending nothing has ever happened, when, in actual fact, everything is still vividly replaying in our hearts? do we ever look at ourselves in the mirror before pointing out others' faults? are we having too narrow a scope of people, and making far too many assumptions? are we all becoming too selfish and egocentric? will we accept people's flaws, or do we condemn people too much, too fast?

we're all just trying too hard.
