Best Pretending Poems

Sitting on a stump of an old maple tree,
around me are ferns enjoying the breeze. 
The birds in the trees are singing to me.
their's no one around I'm totally free. 

The lies and the noise are now far away,
my mind is now calm to listen...

she calls
long pause
hesitation
before 
she speaks

the silence
breaks
her voice
quakes
i taste
her tears
feel
her fears

on this end
of the line
her hope
hangs
on my words
scattered
jumbled
little lies
pretending
not to worry
i scurry
around
idle chatter
carefully
rethinking
my next line
trying to feed her
the reassurance
she seeks

i feel failure
in the allure
of tears
as they fall
when she ends
this call...

I wish nothing more than to quit this game of pretend
I want to go back to being me, and forget whatever happened
I play pretend
Like a little girl who plays dress up.
I play pretend
To be an innocent little girl again
I play pretend
To make everyone happy
To make...

Visions of old 
   Visions of new
coming silently
   begging through

Greed and power
   betrayal strong
refusing rejection
  motives wrong


unseen spirit 
  sends whispers
answers for hatred 
  lies within a narcissistic face

changing many profiles , going unnoticed, resenting ,...

They don't understand when they've pushed me too far.
They never know when I've been pushed too far
They're all ignorant
No on really understands.
No one knows half of the thoughts that go through my mind
No one knows half of what I feel
I wear a facade to make...

I could go thru life pretending
that it didn’t really happen that way.
Then I wouldn’t have to deal
with thinking all these things today.

I could go thru life pretending
that things were really all quite good.
But then I’d  have to tell people 
things were great growing up...

Stop pretending you love me,
stop pretending you care,
You can't fake it,
it's like you're not really there.
You see my face,
you know my heart,
so why don't you 
leave without a trace,
like you wanted to 
from the start.
Just go if you want to,
I'll be ok.
I love you babe,
but...

we've all done it
or we used to do it
nowadays we can feign 
sending messages

in touch-and-go back streets
in dodgy areas at night
in the office to appear 
being busy

to avoid babbling 
with a colleague
to avoid a bothersome
old lady at the bus stop

bell didn't invent the 
gossipy horn
he...

Grains Of Sand, Pretending To Be Boulders


After winning, do try to be a real winner
your moment may make or break another.

Nobody lives in the glory their mind conjures
except those lost thinking in fantasy.

Starving people want more food to eat
not words and praise of your feats.

Think...

Pretending so much.
Not knowing the truth.
In our live's we often rush,
So many times we lose.
Maybe if we take our time, 
then things just might go our way.
A slow pace isn't a crime,
this way our happiness will forever stay.
We won't have to ever put on a...

Is the worst kind of evil,
It stings the heart,
When you find out everybody is lying to you,
Evil pretends to be good,
Evil gets eventually found out and destroyed....

Pretending you're dead can at times be the pits
It frightens the family it scares them to bits
They run around screaming and covering their eyes
They surely weren't ready for my big surprise

Pulling this off was a lead pipe cinch
Haven't seen Charlie or Aunt Abigail since
The dog's...

Gets up every morning
Puts her makeup on
Makes sure she looks perfect
Though everything is wrong
Stares into the mirror
Runs her fingers through her curls
Then she practices her plastic smile
Just like a pageant girl
Goes into the closet
Picks out her favorite dress
The one with yellow flowers
Always has to look...

“Why are our humans staring at you and me?  Don't look.”

“Will any of them, just one, stop staring?  What’s to see?”

“Maybe pretending to dig-hide the bone is the key!
You keep biting and sucking away.  I’ll do the bone thing, then flee
to lay...
