Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Am Fake

I am a fake so many times a day,

It is crazy

Pretending to care when I don’t.
Pretending things are okay, when they are not.

Sometimes I pull myself  into my pajamas and crawl into my bed with the
fluffy comforters, three or four seconds after I come home from work.


Knowing I can be real only in my dreams.

Quoth Theraven July 21, 2019 at 12:15 AM Caren, Sounds like the genuine article to me. Signed, The Great Pretender (pretending that I'm doing well). -Richard Caren Krutsinger July 21, 2019 at 6:37 AM I can see that you have had these days, Richard, so you know.

Arthur Vaso October 15, 2018 at 2:21 AM This is really good poetry, I cant put my finger on it but somehow with these words, well is magical. and of course so not fake, kindness is never that! Caren Krutsinger October 15, 2018 at 3:35 AM Thank you so much, Arthur. I never really know if it poetry, but I always know when it finishes itself. Your words are so kind. Thank you!

Rhona Mcferran October 14, 2018 at 11:31 PM Very relateable... you are not alone!! *as I sit typing in my fuzzy pajamas* Rhona Mcferran October 15, 2018 at 4:05 PM That is so fun!- but I'm surprised... not a unicorn?! ;P Caren Krutsinger October 15, 2018 at 3:36 AM Thank you my friend. I am sitting here in my zipped up Zebra fuzzy one-piece pajamas, not wearing the hood, but of course, there is a tail. My grandchildren always laugh when they see this pajama outfit on me, which surprises me as I have had it for ten years or so.

M. L. Kiser October 14, 2018 at 1:21 PM I would imagine that working with little kids all day long is exhausting; not being able to be one's real self around them would take it's toll. This was a good one; sleep and dream on... Caren Krutsinger October 14, 2018 at 3:07 PM Thank you M.L. I catch all the Zzzzzs I can when I can.

Line Gauthier October 14, 2018 at 11:48 AM aka politeness... it's a curse and such a weight on our shoulders. All - I mean MOST - women will understand this. Priceless penning, Caren. Caren Krutsinger October 14, 2018 at 12:46 PM Thank you Line. I know I understand it.
