The hope for a better tomorrow

The unending tears

The throbbing headaches

The pain attacks

No one sees them all

All they see is the laughter

The jokes cracked

The smile on the face

All they see is the pretence of happiness to cover up the sorrow

Do we have a choice?

Do we have a say?

Is our voice heard when we speak?

All they say, is "tomorrow will be better"

Days have passed,

Weeks have passed,

Months and years has passed

"When is the tomorrow,

When will it be better?"

The tears we cry secretly,

Broken by what's going on in our society

We keep on hoping

We keep on praying

We keep on believing

We encourage eachother that the sorrow doesn't last forever

Even when others turn a blind eye to everything with complacent feelings

We will keep on going

Not stopping

When we cry,

We'll wipe our tears and continue

Every day is a battle for survival

And we'll keep fighting till our last breath

Amidst the pain and sorrow,

We'll shower laughter and happiness to those around us

Unless, who'll support the other, if everyone breaks down???
