Pretend Reality

A Poem

By Tigersugar WriterPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

A moment in time

I don't want to perform and pretend

I don't want to attack and defend

I don't want to close up close up

and shut down,

for the acting of acts of kindness.

Blindness,

masking inner-violence

rippling outwards,

for real.

Sometimes things bleed out truth,

and gooey kindness spills,

organic chills and warmth and goodness

reels like it "should"

We open, open,

expanding safely.

Sometimes faking...

making it real,

Reality reveals what we were always

meant to remember.

But.. I don't want to pretend,

I want to imagine,

dream.

Those are very different from fantasy

it seems.

To know, to be.

Realities unfold,

Honesty beholds the dark-light

I hold myself upright,

transform my spite give credit

and receive mercy

allowing, deepening,

weeping and laughing,

I want to embody my home

Untoiled and unified

I want to honor the dark

and make the light known.
