One Day of Rest

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 scars

Behind a smile that seems so true

 

Tomorrow I'll be ignored again

And be demeaned by my so called friends

To leave me alone would be best

So today, please, just 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,

Not like so many times before

 

To die, I feel, would be much easier than

Smiling as I lie

Or laughing as I sigh

Or silently screaming in my pain

As they call me yet another name

 

I'll never let them see

The one that'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 decietful tongues of friends

And the light which their lies bend

From the glares I recieve on my way

That assure me I can't stay

 

And the love I'll never feel, but always see

Too 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

Author's Note

I made this about 2 years ago, and it's one of the few from back then I still consider decent, so I decided to post it. Nothin' big. ^^
