NOT ENOUGH

Should I assume another life?

even known, a life is not enough

Should I pretend I'm one of them?

In all honesty, I'm not sure I understand this the way you intend it...but I loved these lines. Thanks.

love this... concise and to the point it still leaves open enough for the reader to draw out of it what applies to them and thier life.. Good work!!

Thanks all for stopping by . . .

Your whole life?  WOW.
To coin a phrase: "You are who you assume to be."

If one is to assume another life or pretend to be another, then the implied social failure  might, fearfully, be repeated.
Does that help?

Glad you liked.  I appreciate your compliment.  (Verbose I'm not.)
