What Is The Difference Between A Daydream And Pretend? Poem by Justin Fitzpatrick

What Is the difference between a daydream and pretend?
Both memories that fade away
Both moments that were created
As a ways to an end

Whether to fall into slumber
Or leave reality
What’s the difference
With either creativity

You can dream you live miles away
Pretend you are everything you are not
And you can dream you are rich
And pretend that your fears will stop

Or you can pretend that you are famous
Or dream that you are in love
You can pretend these hopes do not matter
But you know what your soul is made out of

What is the difference?
Who is to say?
You can spend eternity
Pretending and dreaming your life away
