One more

Seems like a regular day
Sun is shining
Birds are chirping
Car alarm beeping

Adults off from work
Children off from school
Its saturday
Family time

Looks can be deceiving
Adults would rather sleep
Children want to play with friends
And the day drags on

Seems like a regular day
And yet it's not
It's shabbos
It's pesach

Supposed holiness
Beauty and warmth
Hapiness And joy
Spirituality

Family time
Requires family
A support system
Loving people

And yet where is it
Sacrificed life
Abandoned love
Forced loneliness

Minutes feel like hours
Hours as long as days
Days will not pass
Aging you quickly

Considered young
Look even younger
No understanding
But feel ancient

An internal storm
External hurricane
Whirlwind of feelings
Explosion of memories

Dreaming of the past
Nightmares of the pain
Wishing for that life
Of pure unhappiness

Watching the families
Sit around a table
Singing songs
Smiling face

One more week
One more holiday
Suffer through it
And then its over

Until the next one
More painful
Excruciating
One more

Emptiness
Loneliness
Sadness
Alone

One more
