Pretending to Live - Exploring Brokenness: Poetry on Pain, Anger, and Human Flaws

Pretending to Live

Imagine what it’s like to have
One event completely transform
You, irrevocably, implacably,
Without any chance of
Change or adaptation,
A grim, remorseless trudge
Toward sordid climes where
People force wounded smiles.
Pretending to live.
