Pretensions . . . The Other Way Around

Wandering lost in our own world of make believe . . . painted smiles on frowned faces . . . pretense joy behind a paining heart . . . all these wrapped up like a cocoon in our life . . . we are lost, we are confused, we are bothered and too many questions left unanswered...we choose our road to take, we live to it until we pain and mindlessly we realize that all those pretensions are the ones that keep us going . . . all that is gain  is a strong heart amidst defeat, frustrations,  and disappointments . . . the more we fall hard in life, the more we bounce back as harder as when we fall . . .
