Pretend

by Javiyah Israel, ’25

Javiyah Israel, ’25

Some intend to play pretend

Like I’m some sort toy

Baby this isn’t Disneyland

Its Twisted Wonderland

Demeanted and relentless

Most expect it to be precious

But instead its just contentious

Overzealous and jealous

Something more than just being a presence

Something deep in your mind

But it’s somewhat hard to find

Look deep inside and you’ll find your own shine

Like a diamond in the night sky

Soon you’ll sore high

You see what’s up there?

A bird? A plane? 

But it ain’t Superman

But someone who idols him

Coming in to save the day

Even when it doesn’t go their way

Because at the end of the day

It’s love that wins all the way
