Free Verse
  • You don't know my life and you don't know my
    story,But one thing I can tell youIs it's not
    sprinkled with glory.My days were filled with
    ridicule and rumors,And all those lies spread
    like cancerous tumors.I pretended to block out
    the words as if they don't hurt,But after
    awhile, that no longer worked.Your words make me
    change into something I'm not,And for you, I
    pretended,I pretended a lot. Now I come home
    every day and lay on my bedAnd for hours on end,
    my tears are shed. I shed tears for I am so
    ashamed,ashamed I'm pretending to play your
    game. Today I end my pretending,I will pretend
    no more.No longer will my heart be so sore,I
    will be me and me I will be, and I will be me
    for all the others to see. And as for the rest
    of you,You'll always be pathetic pretenders.
