The Chaos

Pretending

We are all destined to fall apart,

Each in a different way.

We are each crumbling and disintegrating

But we pretend,

Because God knows us humans like to pretend.

We pretend we are okay,

Because God forbid we should be

 Seen as anything but normal.

We are all dying, each a day closer to death,

But we downplay our destruction

And try to cover up our obliteration

And deny we are being annihilated.

We carry on, with frivolous deeds of daily life,

Instead of actually living

Because the time we are here is limited.

We carry on, pretending,

As all humans are destined to do.
