""PRETENDER"

"PRETENDER"
Although you and I are that of a different gender.
May neither of us live the life of a
"PRETENDER".
Pretending to be this or that, him or her, or perhaps your where it's all at.
I often wonder, if there was no such thing as a
"PRETENDER".
We could be that in whom we are.
Possibly living with no emotional scares.
Then wouldn't it be a more peaceful trip.
Knowing you nor I, was just another
"PRETENDER"
someone else had met.

About this poem:

While having a get together at my house in the year 2000. I was simply sitting on my couch. Just people watching as I often do. As I was listening to my friends talking to one another. It accrued to me that every person telling another person a story was lying and pretending they were someone they are not. I was baffled as to the fact that everybody who were talking was "PRETENDING" to be someone or something they arent. I picked up a pen and wrote this poem. It was the very first poem I had written. I hope that it makes since to you and you like it. Thanks!
