Pretending
By: Ashley M.
The characters in this poem are from the TV show "The Pretender". I did not create them.

Pretending to be with you
I see you in my mind,
When I am a small boy
But now I feel as if I am blind.

Many lies
Hold my past,
I escaped into the real world
Felling like an outcast.

Life seems to move so slow
When you pretend to be,
People you are not.
I am a prodigy.

A genius who
Lives to help others,
Like the weak and abused
With small favors.

Doing things they
Taught me to do
Then changing it
Without an argue.

My life
Was a cage
For many years
All I have left is rage.

Pretending to get closer
To the ones I miss,
When I am getting farther
Into a giant abyss.

I can only pretend
For so much longer,
As my soul
Turns to anger.

As more time passes
Without my family
Is harder to remember
The memories ar fuzzy.

I need the truth
Not a lie,
I run from them without a doubt
When anytime I could die.

I feel better helping others
Then helping myself at times,
I know more things than
People gain in lifetimes.

I am a genius
I can become anyone I want to be
I only wish fro the truth
Just one small key.
