The Pretender

fooling no one

The Pretender

she thinks she's cool calm and so under control

she thinks she knows it all everything about your soul

she's got it all figured out she gets signs from the sender

but the poor poor girl to me is just a pretender

so wise so smart but yet again so dam confused

she talks about others feels she's sometimes being used

she holds to her innocence growls at being accused

her special ways of kindness feels she is being abused

she doesn't want attention at least that's what she claims

she is so much different not like those other dames

yet a sexy snap can be found in all her picture frames

sharing her words of softness with boys of different names

so you see she really isn't that much different at all

we think we can be special our marquee on the wall

having someone tell us that at every port of call

no need here for a pretender no need here at all

Quite an interesting write, a woman with a man in every port instead of the man with a woman in every port. A woman who seems to have all the answers yet has her own head screwed on backwards. Sometimes I wonder if any of us are who we extend ourselves to be, even in the real world, face to face.....well written Gomer LePoet.

A lot of pretenders in this world. I like the honest folks. Better to tell the truth and accept what we are. I like how you told the story in this poem. A very good ending to a excellent poem.
