Pretending Poem by Kelsey Gallant

Pretending

Rating: 5.0


You're great at pretending
And so am I
I ask how you're doing
You tell me you're fine
I smile and give
An upbeat reply
But you're great at pretending
And so am I

You're great at pretending
And so am I
We smile, laugh and joke
Like things are all right
We each have our issues
But keep them out of sight
'Cause you're great at pretending
And so am I

You're great at pretending
And so am I
You act like you're happy
But your world is awry
You don't want me to see
So I turn a blind eye
'Cause you're great at pretending
And so am I

You're great at pretending
And so am I
I know you're untruthful
But I let you deny
We could be real if we wanted
But we don't even try
'Cause you're great at pretending
And so am I

You're great at pretending
And so am I
We've both got worlds of pain
On the inside
But we keep to ourselves
And we never confide
'Cause you're great at pretending
And so am I

You're great at pretending
And so am I
If only one of us
Would let the other see us cry
Then maybe we could heal
Standing side by side
But you're great at pretending
And so am I
