Please Pretend

I pretend to be an expert,

I pretend to be a master,

just pretend to do the work,

And pretend to not suck.

I pretend to be good,

I pretend to be loved,

then pretend that I can ace,

and pretend like I am the best.

I pretend to love you,

I pretend to be fun,

yet pretend to hear you talk,

and pretend that you rock.

I pretend that I'm happy,

I pretend to smile, a lot!

so pretend that I am optimistic,

and pretend that I'm not sick.

I pretend to be a friend,

I pretend like I'm a helping hand,

therefore pretend to be so nice,

And pretend like I am as wise.

You think I wish good for you,

I pretend like I am with you,

You think I dont hate your view,

I pretend like I like that too.

You think I want to see you smile,

and think I bring the good of vibes,

I just pretend to be the man,

that you think helps till he can.

You think what I say is true?

It's soo not what I see in you,

I just pretend how good you are,

killing your picture made by ears.

You think that 'I' is a poet,

I pretend that it's I who is,

But that's as wrong as it can get,

It's everyone, you'll see, just wait.

I see you think your view is pure,

you treat the ones like they deserve,

oh! I think they are not so bad,

Pretend! You'll see the good they have.

Please Pretend

Just pretend you're good to them and you'll see the good in them as well.
