Pretending

I like pretending.
I'm pretty good at pretending
that I'm okay.
And that I give a shit
about half the people
I call friends.
And pretending it doesn't 
bother me
feeling like an outcast.
Like I said,
I'm good at pretending

I know what you mean. I can't be open with almost any of my friends. If I open up my heart to them, they shut me down. I've been hurt like that so many times, that i just won't let them know a single thing about me any more. I think this poem expresses that feeling very, very, well. I love it.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
