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
