The Luxury of Pretending

in poetry •  7 years ago 

Oh pity those who say what they are
without being what they say;
they have the luxury of pretending

I found posts in the first month
about poverty and hard times
but I know, yes I know:
it's not true;
we don't talk about the things that really hurt

But no one is pretending now.
