Art of Pretense

Art of Pretense

A Poem by Shannen Teopiz

They've hurt her once
They've hurt her twice
and they've struck thrice
T'was the time she turned to ice.

Sad and weary she'd gotten
for she was so heartbroken
But in order to cope with pain
the sad side she has slain.

Faced the public while smiling
the pain in the heart she was denying
Some would say it's hypocritical
but no, for her it's typical.

It's typical to hide pain 
to welcome the sun and push rain
She just pretends and then forget
erase the problem that she'd met.

Yes, it is true, I must say
that it's not easy to pretend
but it's her own way
of putting pain to an end.
