One Day of Rest by Kuroi Fushichou
One day, that's all I need,
I'll be back tomorrow,
To smile for you,
To laugh for you,
To hide my pains and scares from you.
-
Tomorrow I'll be ignored again,
And be demeaned by my so called friends.
So today, please, let me rest.
-
I don't think they realize that I hear
The hurtful words which fall so carelessly from their lips.
Which I smile at or pretend to ignore,
Because I will not cry. Damn it!
Well, maybe today.
-
To die, I feel, would be much easier than
Smiling as I cry,
Or laughing as I sigh,
Or silently screaming in my pain,
As they call me another name.
-
I'll never let them see,
The one who's truly me.
As I fight to hold my mask,
Which is run through with cracks.
-
So, please, just for today, let me be saved,
From the humiliation and shame,
That seems to visit everyday,
From the hurtful tongues of friends,
And the light which their lies bend,
From the glares I receive on my way,
That assure me I can't stay.
-
And the love I'll never feel, but always see,
To far from my grasp, as my smile escapes me.
-
So, today, just let me rest,
And I'll come again tomorrow,
With a mask of grins and laughs,
That shuts away my sorrow.
