Play Pretend
by Debra Rose (Age: 21)
copyright 11-12-2003


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
I wanted to play house for a day
Imagine forever was longer than a caprice,
But the words we spoke began to turn numb,
And the inferno of libidos is slowly dying.
I guess our imagenary games are getting old,
We've grown up too much to play pretend.
The enchantment of our fake existence
Has sizzled to stale reminders of what was.

If I scream so loudly, the cardboard walls came down,
Would you see what's on the other side?
I want to punch a hole through this fake existence,
And show you the truth.
We're just little kids playing believe,
In our parents living room.
Do they find it as awkward as I do,
When we kiss?

Execellent work, I understand this poem very well. I think at some point we all live in a make believe world sometimes it feels safer than reality, but reality always hits sooner or later.
And we realize a make believe existance is just not enough and playing house is only pretend and then we want to tear down the cardboard house and build a real one, but we are not always sure exactly where to begin laying the foundation.
He he he! Look you made a blonde think again.
You know it is a good poem.
