Pretend

I don't really have anything to say about this poem...i hope you like it...

Pretend

I pretend everything is alright

I pretend I can’t hear you scream

Why can’t you stop fighting?

I almost cry but I don’t

I pretend to smile

So you can’t see how I feel

I’m tired of you breaking my heart

Over and over again

Why do I have to suffer so much?

You should be protecting me

Instead…

You make me want to run away

Never to come back again

I close my eyes to everything

I cover my ears

For a small moment I’m not pretending

I can’t see

I can’t hear

I don’t have to pretend

But I can’t do that forever

So I will pretend until I can no longer pretend

I pretend everything is alright

But I wish I didn’t have to

I’m tired of pretending

When I have the chance

You will see me no more

Because I don’t want to pretend ever again
