Contrived Pretension

I wish to avoid pretension.
I wish to avoid writing contrivedly,
Though as these words fall to the page.
I appear to be failing miserably.

When writing this or
When writing that.
What I see is so contrived,
Because as I am sure
You all have guessed.
There are elements of which I hide.

Like Lazy Days, getting up too late
and being far too idle

Making excuses
to not see movies,
For an alternative far more primal.

... But when considered,

All in all,

At the end of the day,

Just to quote some phrases.


It's human nature that we share.

To hide some things,
and only show,
that which one chooses.
