[THIS MESSAGE WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN 5 SECONDS]

DeadRose

I often pretend that i’m someone that i’m not.
I enjoy pretending, some days more than others,

Maybe im working a secret job, or am a knight, or a detective,
Or have to quickly finish my tasks before the earth implodes.
a great actor, I am. you don't know, I'm quite famous, here inside my
head
my dreams
safe sanctuary where
I live too often.

        You're fun, but that's our category in life. We're artists and have is it melodramatic lives? I told my late mother I was NOT melodramatic but genuine.

        • DeadRose

          I suppose you are right

        • Qurrat Al Ain

          We try to be someone we're not because we try to mingle with the people and the standards. Different versions of us come forth among different people. And the most admirable version of us would be the one in our imagination.
          Couldn't be any righter! So very relatable!

          • DeadRose
