For a moment’s time, Lets pretend that A star in the night sky Is a moment of happiness Lets pretend That a flower In the garden of life Is a shoulder to cry on Lets pretend That a suicidal thought Is a little heartbeat On a doctor’s monitor Lets pretend Every closed door Is an open opportunity Lets pretend your love  Is my lifetime supply Of the cure to my disease But then again… We are just PRETENDING… © Lost in Tears Form: Blank Verse Tag: Viewed 217 Times ( 0 today )

Ericka... Wow. This poem reflects so much of your soul, so much of the battle that rages inside your head. I love the raw emotion, and the sense of vulnerability. So relatable. Love Sarah

wow! great emotional write! pretending is a touch of hope that parades in our mentals,a light of truth that we long for to feed our starvation of want..to free us from the negative to help focus on the positive to let it become our reality.,,.you are a star,..,.,bless you always my friend,,your friend and fan.,,.Rich
