Pretendage

Your vulnerability is hidden beneath thousands of layers
Laid by your own fragile hands
Fingers bleeding of the cactus thorns
that vitalize the many

As you take it to heart:
Fear exceeds bravery

This is the brilliant mockingbird act we’ve all come to see
Fake imitation of what is thought to be worth the honor
as the king of all kings,
While you fail to beg to differ

and leave the heart of your soul
beating cold against the frosty ground
