I Hid away today.
I wore a bright disguise.
I wore a smile of gold.
No one knew for an instant
That inside I was screaming.
I greeted everyone.
I rung and bagged their purchases.
Asking how their day was.
The few that were kind
Told me I was so pleasant.
And more cashiers should be like me.
Tick-tock.
On the clock,
Cloak the pain with a laugh.
I'm so easy to forget.
Driving home.
So glad it's dark.
My dark eyes sparkle
With the tears
I can finally shed.
A wash up at fifty-four.
I gave up all my dreams
To accept my place in life.
I'm not worth anything.
My dream is for the pain
To lessen.
Time for bed.
Sleepy head.
Pop the pill.
Remember Will.
And sleep.
And dream.
I want to leave. You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or
