#pretention - Hello Poetry

These days, the sun sleeps against a wistful twisting of violet blue. Pretention? Brake pad. You told me that my cadence is lyrical, so, which is it, Mister? I know myself to hell. The mistake I keep making is letting another tell me they know me just as well. I mean, maybe. I mean, maybe. -- though, the more often you say it, I can't help but think that the odds come up in your favor ever less. I know myself to hell. The mistake I keep making is letting another tell me they know me just as well.

FCK 666: "Excuse Me, My Apologies"

These days, the sun sleeps against a wistful twisting of violet blue. Pretention? Brake pad. You told me that my cadence is lyrical, so, which is it, Mister? I know myself to hell. The mistake I keep making is letting another tell me they know me just as well. I mean, maybe. I mean, maybe. -- though, the more often you say it, I can't help but think that the odds come up in your favor ever less. I know myself to hell. The mistake I keep making is letting another tell me they know me just as well.

Her face is so bright, Like a starlight of the night Her smile is so sweet, Like a candy in your mouth But no one can notice, the bitterness of her eyes Because everyone sees her, as the statue of love Every night she's in her room, Crying until she fall asleep Screaming his name, Wishing that he was still here, He left her without saying goodbye Now, She's left clueless wondering why She might be okay in everyone's eyes But the truth is, she's hiding behind the mask, Still waiting for him, To comeback in her life Eventhough she knows The footprints are gone One day you'll see her, Smiling under the rain Trying hard to hide her tears, Trying hard to fulfill their needs, But whenever I look, Directly into her eyes Tiredness is what I see, Longing is what I feel And now she's gone Like a rain in the sky Realization hit us That love is gone, Pretention is done.

Pretending

Her face is so bright, Like a starlight of the night Her smile is so sweet, Like a candy in your mouth But no one can notice, the bitterness of her eyes Because everyone sees her, as the statue of love Every night she's in her room, Crying until she fall asleep Screaming his name, Wishing that he was still here, He left her without saying goodbye Now, She's left clueless wondering why She might be okay in everyone's eyes But the truth is, she's hiding behind the mask, Still waiting for him, To comeback in her life Eventhough she knows The footprints are gone One day you'll see her, Smiling under the rain Trying hard to hide her tears, Trying hard to fulfill their needs, But whenever I look, Directly into her eyes Tiredness is what I see, Longing is what I feel And now she's gone Like a rain in the sky Realization hit us That love is gone, Pretention is done.

You should sulk away in shame. You are a bottom feeder pretending to be predacious. Life has shown you that in the order of life, you will rapaciously lick the lips of the alpha every time . You mistake your pretension for power, and you and only you make that mistake. Don’t think that any other believes that you are anything more than the absolute bottom of the order. You can cry to all who will listen about your greatness and only the most ignorant will believe; For a while. Your attempts to empower yourself by belittling others is a pathetic attempt to cover your own inadequacies. Maybe you haven’t realized yet that they can’t be covered, that everyone really can see you for whom you are. I am amazed that something would actually mate with you. I can’t believe that one of your slightly more pretentious peers has not taken her from you yet. You are a disgusting example of a human being. You are petty, jealous and cowardly. You are the very definition of anthropomorphism.; You have been attributed with human traits without actually having them. You are lower than an animal and are pathetic.

They all know me as the "class clown", They never bothered to look behind that mask.
