The Pretender

I was the pretender.

The fake one.

A puppet on strings.

I was the act,

A show put on for others.

I was the one to be laughed at

To be scorned and ridiculed.

I was the pretender.

No one saw me

As real.

Author's Note

A guy called me "unrealistic" and a "pretender", so that's what inspired me to write this piece.

We are who we are...and yet others only seem to know us...comments can be unrealistic in itself...
