Pretending Poem by Chantal Lammerts

Pretending…

When the little innocent bird,
Sings the most beautiful song you’ve ever heard.
And the deadly king, a lion with sharpened teeth,
Shares with his friends his delicious meat.

When the shining sun comes and goes,
It can burn you if you’re too close.
And the flowers that look so pretty,
But poison you if you get to gritty.

Things never are like they may seem,
Mysterious, they don’t call out and scream;
Don’t come closer, be aware,
I have warned you, I’ve been fair.

No, people are not different,
Their exactly what I meant.
They put up a happy smile,
But in the end, they just pretend…

Live life, eyes open,
Be aware and don’t get broken.
