Quit Pretending

She quits pretending to like her new dress,
Rejects fashion, yet remains guiltless.
Her wardrobes old-fashioned unnoticed it goes
But gives her the freedom like no one she knows.
He quits pretending to enjoy his work
Despite the high salary and the perks;
Many have advised him against this view,
But he trusts himself and decides to start anew.
A strained relationship she tried to mend
Always having to justify and defend
But ends it now and asserts her will;
She quits pretending to be in love still.
I gaze at the mirror and slowly recognize
Those of my features I cover up with lies:
A concealed smile and many darker spots,
And quit pretending to be what Im not.

Right On! You know...Every time the social rule is challenged an individual earns their wings...:-)))
Seriously though...The strength of an eloquent & witty assertion like this is very cool in & of itself, not to mention, the creativeness of your format & your sense of flow...I dig it! |

What a lovely didactic for all to live by. You have covered all the basis for one to live genuinely and unlike those living under the majority rule. I too am like the girl who dresses differently and does the opposite of everyone. Take care and may God bless you,

Dear ammar
This one is incredible -- blew me away -- the whole thing is spectacular and easy-to-read too -- but the ending tore me apart. That's good. Being torn apart has something to do with being vulnerable: but is it enough of a motivation for me to really quit pretending? I wish I could... Well: I'm not pretending when I say I love this poem! --flinthunter |
