"The Problem with Pretenders"

Friendship in the mud
They live secretly and proud,
But there's no show of true love,
And no love to prove it aloud.

One claims they are better,
And the other, prettier,
Both playing the role of potter,
Living lives full of denial and fear.

What a world full of pretenders,
Biting and fanning each other,
Acting like friends called mouse,
Comfortably nestled in our house.

But the truth is hard to take,
So they continue to play-pretend and fake,
In this drama of false connection,
Living in constant contradiction.

But hope remains for those with open hearts,
Who seek genuine bonds right from the start,
Choosing honesty over shallow trends,
Forging lasting connections that never end.
