There are many things I need to do
yet nothing's getting done
I think I'll sit around awhile
pretending my to-do's are done
Is tapping in to that youthful energy
Instead of pretending you still have it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Experience is worth a whole lot.
I'm just pretending that I don't love you.
When i really do.
What should i do?
When my thoughts and soul
Is looking for you?
Sitting on the sun
Pretending there is no light
Who's got the matches
This is fun, I'm playing dumb
How soon are we gonna jump
hard rock pretending
Wears mask of algae and moss
to be soft and green
Friendly fresh looks it truly
more dangerous to step on
"Tears running down the drain pretending its rain standing under a shower of shame burning up cause it’s hot and I am still ashamed."
darkness as black as ignorance
as shine pretending as hypocrisy
living to perish
and fighting to cherish
life is the living moon.

You know how boys play with their tool
Pretending to be Mr. Cool
So keep an eye out
For a water spout
As they tend to pee in the pool!
You nod pretending to hear.
I know you're not listening one bit.
Your mind is made up.

its a sin have some pretend
walk with that grim
pretending to be a friend
while no one wins
to them its cool

PARADARE OF FOOLS
Nine a.m. in cancer ward.
Stoic husband waits to hear his name.
Together pretending not to worry.

The truth cannot change
Even when you choose to ignore it
You need courage to challenge the norm
A person pretending to sleep cannot be awakened
I should never
have elevated you
pretending you were more
than human,
like everyone else,
finding out - but not too late -
the smear on your hands.
Accept life for what it is - one more bruise.
Cheer up but you'd better stop pretending
To be always happy. C'est la vie! Tschuess!
Start comprehending.
lavender stars
sprinkling wisdom
pines rear up
pretending they are taller
nature smiles watching their interchange
loving the snow that completes them
Alone by a stream
skipping stones
aimlessly
No, that's too trite
--randomly, perhaps
What's the use of
pretending
that it's meaningful
SCHOOL
the desks
a chalked board
sitting with a friend
pretending to listen
to lull teacher's attention
"A place where minds and numbness meet"
Appearances
May seem as
Limitations..
Pretending to describe
The indescribable..
Yet in simple appearances
Emptiness speaks of
Emptiness...
Another day of uncomfortable waiting
Pretending that things will change.
I can’t deal with the problems I’m facing.
Same things over again, mentally deranged.
The delicate feather
Of a golden winged bird
A song like soft rain
Green grass with blades of iron
A young girl pretending to be fine
The bird merely a siren.
A
journey
a tale of longing
and searching
for what seems not
to be here~
of findings
pretending relief~
and perhaps
sudden death
of the tale itself~~
she was homely and plain
Buffalo Bill dressed her poster up, pretending pretty
the men would not come to watch her shoot
if they knew the truth about Annie Oakley
Euplastic creature
transforms into my skin suit
pretending it's me
My heart was racing madly.
Trembling with fear walking down midnight streets.
Calling on my guardian angel.

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.
