Title: Sustenance
It is today again
I wake up realising so, unfortunately,
I try not to think about how the only thing new today
Would be the face i choose to put on,
It has been too long now,
Stuck
It is today again
I wake up realising so, unfortunately,
I try not to think about how the only thing new today
Would be the face i choose to put on,
It has been too long now,
Stuck
Title: Sustenance
It is today again
I wake up realising so, unfortunately,
I try not to think about how the only thing new today
Would be the face i choose to put on,
It has been too long now,
Stuck in this labyrinth
With no escape
I cannot recall the face I had at the start of it all
Now everyday I choose an expression to master
Though I have failed yet and yet again
To put on a smile neat enough for disguise,
I get caught
And I fail
yet this miserable cycle drags me through this dismay
I try to let go but it’s grasp is too strong
And when I try to hold on, it mocks me
I do not know how much longer I can keep the show going
Especially with no audience to perform for
