So I'll start my FF year with Gale and freeverse. I'll pretend I am not seeing those smug smiles, you Gale lovers. I still (sort of) (maybe) (don't) (like) (him) (maybe). You should review. It's the thespian way to do things.


who I have pretended to be


it turns out that I am a very multifaceted actor

I have been the best friend

I have been the playboy

I have been the responsible son

I have been the role model for the fatherless children

I have been the hunter

and I have been the victim

I have been many things,

I've been who you want me to be

but I don't even know who I am.

::

because you think you have me pegged

you think you know exactly who I am

I'm responsible

I'm fearless

I'm the expert

I know what to do

and when I don't,

you're surprised

when I do the wrong thing,

you're ashamed

and when I don't do anything,

you blame me.

::

so go ahead.

blame me for everything

I'll pretend it matters

so go ahead

say it was my fault she died

I'll pretend I disagree

so go ahead

say it was my idea that killed those people

I'll pretend I care

so go ahead

say it was my fault we fell apart

I'll pretend

that

I can still pretend

we might have been.
