The beaming sun burns my eyes,
my nose,
my lips
and all my lies.
I wake in the fear that my cover will be blown
That someone may see that I'm all alone.

Will they care?
In a world where no one tries
to accept that everyone fights
with themselves, their mind, their own end in sight.

I rise from my bed.
The tears of last night dry on the pillow but fresh in my mind.
My body longs to fall in the solace of the cotton that comforts my weary soul every night.

But still I go on because today is a new day,
Possibilities are endless they say
But happiness is mine to find.
