***what Is The World Coming To? *** Poem by mona martinez

Pretending is what the world coming to,
it okay to be a fake,
as long as you appear normal,
it's okay to test things,
but it not okay to do them,
confuse and corrupted,
is that what the world turning to?
So easy to put on a smile,
hold your head high,
and pretend that life is OK,
but the min you start being real,
people see it as an act,
force to pretend,
you don't get ask questions,
people see it as normal,
if we were all the same,
and we handle our problems the same,
the world would be easier to understand,
but we don't live in this perfect little world,
there are no rainbows and butterflies,
if you ask me,
they are died when you enter reality,
so why do I have to pretend,
when the world is not perfect,
people are not perfect,
i'm just me,
don't expect me to be somebody else,
just to fit into your perfect chart,
just to label me,
I won't fit,
there more to me than meet the eye.
