Pretender

Written by Jacob Ibrag

You’re a pretender, pretending to know what I’m

thinking. You’re a pretender, pretending to know where

I’ve disappeared. And here I stand, waiting for you to realize

that I never left. I’m exactly where you forgot to exist. Come

back to what is, come back before we become figments.

    I’ve felt emotions like this before… they’ve led me to write some of my most reflective pieces – Thanks for sharing yours! I like when I can connect with others through their work

    “I’m exactly where you forgot to exist.” – This line really resonated.
    There is much to reflect on in this piece. Nice!

    Great poem! It touched a chord in my heart. These would be the poem I would like to dedicate to my so-called friends.
