..Pretensions..

I am all alone in this abandoned room

Without any person who can watch my doom

Surrounded by these scattered ravages of dawn

Without a friend to say keep holding on

But now I can pretend that someone’s beside me

To fill the emptiness that no one can see

That someone’s putting its arms around me

And makes me feel the warmth that I want it to be

And I know I am only just pretending

Knowing that it is not really happening

I guess I’m not really worthy to be happy

Perhaps I’ll stay here in this room of misery

But I think it’s not time to say no more!

Maybe there’s someone who will like me and adore

Oh God! Please guide me to your admirations

And keep away these outrageous pretensions

     I wrote this last year because it is an assignment in our Literature and just reminiscing the thought of the poem makes me laugh because I've just realize how dumb I was when I presented it in front of our class XP
