Dark Poems

Lets Pretend

Lets pretend
Oh yes;
Lets pretend
That nothings wrong;
That dad ain't drunk
And mom a slut.
Oh yes,
Let pretend
That things are good
And nothing gets to me
Let's pretend I'm normal
And I don't care
Let's pretend a thousand different things
Let's pretend that realities make believe
Let's pretend
Oh yes
Let's pretend
But that don't change the fact the my brothers in bed but he ain't sleeping
And my littler sister afraid to come out of her room
Let's pretend
Oh yes
Let's pretend
That I don't hear the raised voices and the loud crashes
Yes
Let's pretend
That nothing can faze me
Cause I'm just that white chick that wears black
So why would things faze me
Oh yes let's pretend that I'm rich and I don't have to look after my little sis.
Oh yes
Let's pretend
That the room in which I sleep in isn't littered with broken glass
Let's pretend that electricity works and that we have food
Let's pretend that i come home to happy words
But that the thing
It's just pretend
It's not my reality;
Cause dads a drunk, mom a slut, things aren't good, and they get to me, I'm abnormal,and I do care,
A life made up of lies
And sooner or later
The truth will come out
Reality will sink in
Cause I hear the voices, the crashes, and I get fazed
I'm more than just a white chick in all black
Cause under the surface
I'm poor
I have to look after her
There's glass in my room
The electricities offline
And I'm scavenging for food
I come home to yelled words
And no one cares
So let's pretend
