Only Last A While
Monday
Artificial smiles only last a while
With school drama and his working late
Sometimes it’s just too much to take,
But no tears can there be
Just back not my diary for me
Tuesday
Artificial smiles only last a while
The yelling begins
And my only hope is to escape to a friend’s,
But no sadness with there be
Only forced laughter for me
Wednesday
Artificial smiles only last a while
I have to laugh or I will cry
At all these failed attempts to try,
But no I love you back for me
Just one more mile to run will there be
Thursday
No smile can only last a while
Now I’m not even leaving my room
Being around them just seems too soon,
But no pity should there be
I just want somebody not to judge and listen to me
Friday
No smile can only last a while
Once again I’m not good enough
Did you ever think your standards are just too tough,
But no complements for me
Just more time with friends will there be
Saturday
Frowns can only last a while
No shoulder today, my friends aren’t home, I’m all alone
And I’m sure in my attitude it’s shown,
Be no crying for me
Just one more attempt shall there be
Sunday
Everyone must look all and well
So no one can ever tell
But no secrets from my friends will there be
My true friends know the secrets in me
I hope tears only last for a while
