• We Pretend

    1.
    We use to pretend
    that we could sorrow
    high among of the clouds
    or go to far off
    distant places
    were imagination blurred
    the line between truth and lies
    with our giant monsters,
    robots and warring armies
    of make believe
    and untold time
    2.
    today, we pretend
    to be who we’re not
    as others tell us who we should be
    as we choke
    on our fears of not fitting in
