Pretend

I just want to curl up in my bed,
Pretend that world outside of me doesn't exist for a moment,
That time moves slow,
That I can see myself grow,
I say pretend,
Because I know it won't change in the end,
And I know,
That I can't see how this will mend,
But for now,
I'll curl up,
Pretend that the world outside of me doesn't exist,
For a moment,
Then everything might not be so potent,
I'll just lay here a while,
With my thoughts,
And with my God,
My back to Him,
I'll ask him questions,
But I'll hear no answers,
Because my head is clouded,
My ears are packed inside,
With all the pieces of my broken pride,
And I can't pretend,
So I'll just lay here,
Wait for something to bend,
And break free,
Reconciling me.
