10:00 min.
10 minutes out there
cowering
masked
small
10 minutes only
before the end of the week
freedom at last,
no more playing sweet
there is work to be done
before the end of the week.
10 more minutes
that's all the time
i allow them to listen
to my inside lies
too bad they believe it
none bother to look closer
if only they could see it
i
might not be so heartsore
oh wonderful world
of our planet's wide smile
something might have changed
but it has been too much of a while.
10 minutes for now,
is the hope i allow my soul
the stories i tell
for you all
10 minutes finally
has been spent up
i can retreat to my heart's hidden places
too hated to be seen.
i wish for 10 minutes
10 minutes of joy
where they may not leave me choking
for something they know i'm looking for
well, at least 10 minutes
is enough to feel.
to feel something is pleasurous
with an ounce of-
10 minutes only.
no more, no less.
10 minutes of crying
and hatred
and stress.
10 minutes only.
that is all i get.
to pretend i know nothing
and to stay silent while they smile
until someone might notice
the tears i might shed.
