Tomorrow

I will plaster on a smile

And go out to face the world.

Tomorrow

I will greet my friends as if

The "I'm good. How're you?"

Was real in my world.

Tomorrow

There will be a spring in

My step and a smile on my lips.

Tomorrow

Everyone will find that

I'm quite alright.

But not today.

Tday

The tears turn my face

A blotchy red. As I struggle

Not to let my parents hear me cry.

Today

Who I am comes crashing down

As I look around at the fallen pieces of my life.

I close my eyes.

That is today.

Tomorrow

I will smile.
