please

please,

let today be good,

let me breathe in deeply without pain

please,

let me rid my friends of worry

let their constant fear disperse

please,

let me get better for their sake

for his sake

and please,

let me speak without having to choke the words out,

let the devil release my tender swollen throat from his claws

please,

let me speak without being back-handed into tears with screams,

let me release all pain from within

please,

let the sadness drain from me like the tears drain me of my water,

let it get better

please,

let me be better,

let the happiness return to my swollen eyes

please,

let it return to my tear-stained cheeks,

let the smile flourish beautifully like a rare flower

because it is rare  

oh please,

let me be happy again,

I miss the smile that never ended
