disguise your torment
for someone else’s joy…
rein in your tears
for someone else’s smile…
feign your bravery
to allay another’s fear…
laugh out loud
to shield a muffled cry…
abandon your beliefs
and let theirs flourish…
cease to exist
for another to thrive…
you despair to scream
out loud!
silence is a must
your voice fading in a cloud…
fold your wings
for someone to fly, high…
step aside,
let the other walk out proud…
where there’s love
comes sacrifice
you’d stop breathing
for a new life to begin…
