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.
