I Pretend

I am full of myself today. So eager to please my true love. Others do not know me like I do. I pretend to keep them close, Yet I actually keep them far, far apart. I will never show them my total me. All full of sass, I hide it. It is way out beyond my reef. I know the power of myself full tilt. So I hide it away, but pretend I am open. He looks at me and smiles, having no idea What my sadistic mind is capable of thinking.

Panagiota, thank you for stopping by. I hide so much it is crazy. But when the truth comes out....watch out! And stand back.
