This poem was very much inspired by the TV Show of the same name.

The Pretender

Who are you my friend and what do you do
Is what I ask to someone who has no name
Someone who has no role yet assumes so many
And lives a life between the shadows

With unpredictable gonzo tendencies
Your paths as multihued as the rainbow
One uniform you may wear today
Only to change into another tomorrow

One day you may work at a deli
packaging and selling salami
another in the hospital wing
assessing a patient for charity

Nobody would think you an impostor
You assume the roles so naturally
Everyone is drawn to your charisma
As the moths are drawn to the light

How can one live when they don’t know who they are
This is a testament to your fortitude
Slow down now and reveal your true self
Stop living the way of The Pretender
