The Poet Is A Pretender

O poeta é um fingidor
Finge tão completamente
Que chega a fingir que é dor
A dor que deveras sente
_____________________________
The poet is a pretender
Who's so good at his act
He even pretends to be pain
The pain he feels in fact


- Fernando Pessoa


(Thanks to Corgiguy for the poem and translation)
