Something to hum

Take another day

To find a way to not turn grey

But know you’ll still go one day

Take another week

To find a way to not appear meek

But you’re shy and think it’s not okay to cry

You’re hollow, are you a shell of this human?

Why don’t you try a smile?

You don’t like that, being asked what to do

And yet your lip upturns when you don’t lose

Yourself
