Another Day

Another Day

A Poem by Lauren Applegrove
"

Every day hurts, though we go on another day.

"
A plea for help, a cry of sorrow,
It remains the same, till the day after tomorrow.
Will they miss me when I am gone, 
Or would they act like nothing's wrong?
Will there be tears shed in vain, 
Or will my mark be a stain?
My joy has melted to anger, then tears,
And I feel like I have fought for years. 
I close my eyes, ready to rest, 
I am tired of these faithful tests.
The metal is cold, soon like me, 
In seconds I will soon be free. 
A click of the lock upon the door, 
I go to see though my heart is sore.
Mom is home with bags in hand, 
I go to help, somehow I stand. 
She says thank you and gives me a hug, 
I feel something and gently shrug. 
She sees some pain within my eyes, 
And we have a talk about my disguise. 
I feel better, but my feelings will lapse, 
I put away the thought, another day, perhaps.
