Not Your Great Pretender

Not a great pretender So, I quit; a weakness? So, I rethink; heavy weight Should I go? - what's waiting on the other side? Unaffirmative, constant anger, What's the problem? For we do the job you asked; why the furious? — now I think, did I do something wrong Call us out, call me out! My mental health is at stake I am not your great pretender Look at my expression; the face says it all! 90 more days: believing faith — Blindfaith, stagnant Change: where is? Running to the crowd? Hiding away? I'm sick in the head, is there a funeral? Send me away, no changing a mind A cabinet! One day I cleaned You hear no complain, fine Like everything else What else? To do? The angel would be mad if we not do something You'd say Give us something for never have we complained And you're still mad I do not understand! My mind is tired! A change of heart! A hope I admired Never acclaimed I thought before my impulse Hoping! Indeed Tired, in my mind My emotions asleep It does not care but my brain does - every bit of it Indeed deteriorates You in my mind! I hate
