Everyday

---

"Everyday, I pass people I know,
And with a "Hello." I let them go.
Never realizing what I have done,
Is tossed another friendship into the sun.
And as each day passes we all draw closer,
Some have more--some have less--
Time to share with those dearest
But when I pass you by without a care,
That time I waste
In the void...
We call Despair

Everyday I wear a mask
Hiding myself from unknown fear of pain
And as people politely ask,
I tell them nothing is wrong
...again.
And with each question asked,
I grow more and more stressed.
Until one day,
I will break from the weight.
But I know that as I go
I am not alone in my mask,
For we all wear masks
As we go about life's tasks.
And we all break under the weight.

Everyday I awake, hoping
That today will be the day
I can finally relax
And I live each day trying
Trying to find that moment when
I can relax
Growing more and more stressed
As I approach that next moment
And all through lunch I look,
Never finding
And in the afternoon
I also seek while I am at work
But that is also in vain.
And as I end my day.
I am no more relaxed
But instead I sleep
Because I am exhausted
Exhausted from the weight I bear.

Everyday I strive, to find the one I can love
Never finding But always seeking.
I search, and fight, for the time
I can let myself open up,
And I will be able to be free.
Free to cry
And to laugh
and to truely know joy
Joy,
That thing often mentioned, yet never known
Free to cry,
cry for the dead.
Laugh, for the funny
Smile, yes even smile
Smile from my heart."
