Don't Feign

by Aparna Chatterjee

Don't
Feign
When
Feelings
Are not
There

But when
Feelings
Are there
Don't suppress
Them, don't
Hide them...
Don't repress
Them...
For however
Much you
Try to disguise
Them...restrain
Them, squash
Them...
It will all be
In vain...
They'll eventually
Show, as feelings
Don't go

(Theme could also be Pretense / Masquerade)
