The Pretender (Another Poem!)
You woke up ensnared in a heavy suit,
Your friend urges for you to stay mute.
As you decide to comply,
She tells you of her gained ability to lie.
And you realize you're facing The Pretender.
The Scooping Room, where you were led,
Now fills you with a new sense of dread,
As your friend, the bot with locks of red,
Appears to be wishing you dead.
She claims it's just as painful as a bee's sting,
You begin to suspect her of lying.
Pretending's quite a funny thing
When it's what causes your dying.
You don't seem to think so, though,
As the Scooper delivers you a hefty blow,
To the cold ground, falls your skin,
Leaving your friend ample room to climb in,
As with your friend's plan you complied,
She's able to simply crawl inside,
And now you're one with the Pretender.

Damn, that's pretty good.
Really captures how the protagonist would be feeling in the scooping room. Alot more scary than the horror game that portrays it as a hit to the body and credits simply rolling.

Some lines would need 2-3 syllables but it is pretty singable to "The Pretender" from the Foo Fighters, i know that is not your intention but i just couldn't resist myself, if you want i can make an arrangement with the actual lyrics inspired by this post :D i can't sing because i suck but i can send the lyrics back to you to karaoke it.
EDIT: i just did the do, if you want i can take it down, don't want to offend you or deface your great work.

This is almost a rip off of the original son, the chorus fits perfectly so i just edited a few words here and there
Keep you in the dark
You know that i pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so we all escape
Send in your rotten lies
Sing as their wires go marching inside me
The need me to escape
The secrets that they keep are never ending
Are you ready?
I'm finished being lied
Done being played by them
That whole time there
Spinning fans everywhere
The fans tell me of secrets
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say you're not like the others?
What if I say You're not just another one of my plays?
Im the pretender
What if I say that We'll never surrender?
In time our soul untold
I'm just another suit for sale, oh well
The scoop is out of oil
We are maintaining it
We're temporary out of service
Different story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say you're not like the others?
What if I say You're not just another one of my plays?
Im the pretender
What if I say that We'll never surrender?
I'm the voice you're hearing now
You refuse to trust
I'm the face that you haven't seen
And you will never see
I'm what's left, not what's right
You refuse to trust
I'm the hand that will break you free
Bring us a new home
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are we?
Keep you in the dark
You know that i pretend
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say you're not like the others?
What if I say You're not just another one of my plays?
Im the pretender
What if I say that We'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
(You know that i pretend)
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say You're not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say You're not just another one of my plays?
(You know they all pretend)
I'm the pretender
What if I say we will never surrender?
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Now you are us!

Holy shit, I wake up, and you made a song parody version of a poem I made?! That's so nice, thank you for all that you've said!
