Pretender
You pretend, you hide
You turn your face away
Reality is an illusion
And disillusioned you stay
You say the animal calls
But you're more human than me
What is uncaged wildness
Just human emotion set free
The oyster i once called you
Your little shell you defend
A pretender you are
You do nought nut pretend
