When I was a kid
My favorite game was playing Pretend
Then my friends and I could be whatever we pleased
And so we went on adventures
As mermaids we’d discover sunken ships and lost treasures
As explorers we’d uncover the ancient tombs of kings and queens
We were warriors
Fending off beasts and enemies
As witches
We cast spells and curses on anyone who hurt us
But then we “grew up”
And I was left to play Pretend by myself
My friends didn’t need our adventures anymore
So I began exploring by myself
Finding lost worlds
Fighting off the enemy
Alone
Playing Pretend
Escaping reality
The only way I can
