The Pretender
I remember you,
The girl with the smile,
Who’d hold her head high and laugh at the pretenders.
I remember you,
I was proud of who you are,
I was proud of who you were becoming,
And most of all you were content.
I remember you,
In a class above the rest,
Not caring how others viewed you,
Dancing in the comfy sweats.
I remember a child whose innocence was eternal
Yet now I look and see it was ephemeral.
Everything changed when you lost strong views,
Our paths diverged and we grew apart.
Now I hardly know you,
Your appearance, a façade.
You’re a girl whose lost her courage, her beliefs, her judgment,
Who could’ve thought you’d become one of the pretenders?
