Every day
Pulling through
Like there’s a sour candy
Lodged in your mouth
Fabricating smiles out of tear stained skin
Pulling it over your bones too tight and
You can’t breathe but it’s okay
Because you’re the eccedentesiast
Faking a smile
Secretly screaming the truth
Praying to the sky
Breathing in the wind
Lying for just another day
Trapped in society’s confinements
