Pretending

That is a new poem Written by Aldo Kraas

I just keep pretending

That it hurts to talk

About my beloved dear loved ones

That I lost many years ago

I just keep pretending that I won’t

Cry because I feel that I have to be strong

For me and everybody else

I just keep pretending that I got to be brave

I just keep pretending that

If I wear a mask no body will be able

To see my angry face

Because that will be the best thing I can do

Also I try not to make people worried about me

Because I am trying to get some help from

My father Because I Know and I feel

That he knows more about me than my friends

Also it was my father that gave me my beautiful life

To live here on earth

And I am so happy that I live all this time here on earth

And I been living here on earth for 58 years

Also I know that I will only live once my life

I am not that young anymore

I am a lot older now

I am also counting the days I had my sleepless nights

That I hate so much

I don’t want my friends to tell me that I feel like

A zombie

Because they will tell me that

I will need to be in bad

I know that I can’t function without sleep

Also I know that eventually my body will crush

I know that I can sleep during the day or I won’ sleep

At night

Yes I did go by myself for a walk in the park

Having my mask on my face to hide my angry look

I also heard the birds singing

In another month the Fall will be here

SO I must enjoy the end of Summer every single day
