Bhoomi Sogani Poet Narrative

Pretend

When you said you believed me 
I laughed 
I laughed how you easily believed 
In the things I pretend 
How you never knew the things I hid 
Behind the smile I wore 
You believed in the way I always seemed to be happy 
You believed how my silence was a mere silence and not words I always wanted to speak 
You believed in those silly smilies I sent you the time my tears didn’t know how to stop 
You believed when I said the reason behind this scar is a door or my bed 
You believed when I said my head was aching 
You always believed me and that is where the problem lies 
You see how easily you believed the things I pretend to be 
And even after knowing me so well 
You don’t really know who I really am 
Behind everything I pretend 
Behind everything I wish you never believed
