PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I think adults are the ones

who should be playing pretend

more so than children.



After all, white lies are just

a game of dress-up,

a costume worn over reality.



But, instead, we feign composure

because temper tantrums are

expected to stay behind with childhood.



So, we bottle up our emotions

leading to extreme breakdowns.

Was it worth acting like we were "fine"?



If only, we could cry when the urge arose,

kick and scream when we don’t get our way.

At least they couldn’t accuse us of denial.
