Let Me Pretend

[erik]

just been on a recent writing spell,
I think I came out with some good ones,
so I'll share once again,

leave it to me, to let it all be,
a pile of hell, or a broken mans sanctity,

we'll all be sure to discard the way you felt about me,
because no one holds these cards, they've piled behind me,

deny me my fame, but leave me my dreams,
with everything sane, I seem to lack all sanity,

for all that you've denied, I'm still left to keep inside,
I've made a statement, that will be gone as soon as you erase it,

all I ask is that you let me pretend we're fine,
an insane solution to an insane mind,

If you can make me believe you,
I'll believe again, as so much I need to believe.

Your poem has inspired me, erik!
The theme may be different, but it has sparked this intense feeling in me.

Freedom

pretences, pretences,
people do a lot of this
yet how can I be naive?

the path traveled by friends,
teeming with laughter
teeming with sadness

today, i look back
today, i have come out of the shell
my naivete has gotten the best of me

no more pretences!
no more naivete!
I am free...

am i really?
time can heal
and my time, has yet to come.

Yeah, that's good. Just keeping sane with all your insanities.

Yes, being yourself is the most you can get out of YOU!

I'll say you've been inspired, its almost as if our two poems go together,
I like how you poem questions itself and its direction,
I'm very glad to see poetry by you ctivnan,
it was quite the treat

I am really happy, erik! I was looking forward to your comments!
It's the first time I have ever written a poem in years!!! I used to write simple poems when I was in my early teens.

Thank you very much for such an awakening!

I'm very happy for you as well,
its a great thing poetry is even more intimate,
than many forms of expression,
you did a fab job with this,
I hope once you start you can keep the ball rolling,
afterall your a teacher who knows how deep the well of your poetic soul
is? and thats exiciting and fascinating to me,
I hope I'm continually amazed but for now I'm just very glad that such an occurence happened
