To be quiet.
Stop smiling,
Stop talking,
Stop laughing.
Stop pretending nothing happened.
I’m sick of the routine
The obsessive tyrannical routine.
Let it change,
Let us change,
Let us mourn.
The things that just don’t happen
Already did,
So let’s not ignore them.
Let’s stop smiling
And talking.
Stop laughing
And pretending.
Something happened,
So let’s be quiet,
Let’s mourn.
