sunshine & rain shine

one

and so i see it happen again

the thing i swore to never do again

carve out the words

your favorite word that is 

i feel the sting

but i still feel empty 

nothing can fill that void 

so i tell no one

fake it it you make

that's all i can say

mask any sort of inconvenience 

showcase only the good

don't let the bad slip through

have slip through in places only you can see

hide with something so simple

they won't notice 

the void has still yet to be filled

and no one knows 

the prize for doing nothing 

awarded to your favorite work

when i see my reflection all i see is that word

others may say things that might be true 

but that's not what i see

it's my favorite word laughing in my face

don't let anyone in

no one needs to worry

only my favorite word can help

and it shall

every morning i decide how 

decide how to fail

test, quiz, people, myself

everyday i fail myself

and that's failure laughing right at me
