Believe

and preted it gets easier,

when your hero moves to another world, never to be seen again,

when your best isn't good enough.

and pretend it gets easier,

when your dream is shatered in two,

when you know the going will only get tougher.

and pretend it gets easier,
after hours of daunting homework,
after a failed grade.

and pretend it gets easier,
only to make your day feel better,
when the real thing to do is believe that it gets easier.
