Write a story that involves this line of speech.
Fake It Till You Make It
She's not who she says she is
Who she acts like
The act she puts on
She seems confident
Fearless
She acts like she can do anything
But when the door closes and she's all alone
Her mask falls
Inside she's scared
Anxious
Insecure
Shy
And awkward
But when she puts on the mask
It makes her feel better
Maybe if she keeps acting brave
One day she will be
Just keeping going
Take another step
Maybe if she acts like she loves herself
One day she will
Maybe if she acts outgoing
One day she will be
She believes she will
And day-by-day
She's getting better
Getting more hopeful
She's smiles more
A real smile
Not her mask
And she realizes
It's okay to let down your mask sometimes
It's okay to be scared
As long as it doesn't stop you
But sometimes you have to Fake It Till You Make It
The end.
