PRETEND by Anonymous

I can be what you want
I can smile when u do
Cry when u do
I will mirror you
Laugh with you
Be whateva you want
Or need at the time
Sadly
In this dance
Ive learnt how to be
To survive
Be able to work
Keep my life
Seemingly
“Normal”
Sadly
Using drugs
Alcohol
Sex
Gambling
Whateva came my way
I survived
I did not thrive
Sadly
I got lost
Not knowing who i am
How to be truthful
Honest
To be real
To relate
Have depth of relationship with another
Now its a road on recovery
One that will not end
Its not an easy road
And one much too late
Thankful and most grateful
that now i get a chance to be real
To find truth
And find me
Thankfully Gratefully.
