...is the child still pretending?

Do your clothes express you

or do they express the person

you would like to be perceived as being?

Do you sing because you are happy

or are you happy because you sing

is the music from the heart or just from your lips.

Do you dance to the music and twirl with joy

or are you just going through the motions

hoping and wishing the dance would end.

Are you living life to the full

or just wearing a colourful facade

hiding behind the latest craze

pretending to enjoy.

Are you at last who you wanted to be

are you at last who you longed to be

in this grown up world you so desired

or is the child still pretending?
