Pretend No More Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

Pretend No More



I have a
Hard time keeping alive
Hard time being
Hard time fighting off crows of thoughts
Hard time keeping sadness at bay
And I can no longer chest this gloom

I can no longer be what is expected of me
Can't be a museum of smiles and everything good any more
I can no longer pretend
