I am falling
trying to catch myself
nobody
can help me

Long Pretense

Long Pretense

I just pretend
        to be a student
        to be a translator
        to be an actress
        to be a wife
        to be a mother 
        to be a lover
        to be a friend
        to be a sculptor
        to be a cook
        to be a baker
        to be a gardener
        to be a potter
        to be a photographer
        to be a jeweler
        to be a grandmother
        to be a poet

No pretense being a kid
Thinking doesn't get in the way

I will get caught, I know
