On a Holiday
You always celebrate.
Dress up in your nicest dress,
Carefully apply your face,
Fix your hair.
As the asphalt crumbles
Beneath your feet,
A cringe emerges.
Blisters throb as
The heels cut into your feet.
Smile,
It is a happy day.
Families bustle about,
Little children smile for pictures
While popping candies in their mouths.
Remember when this was you.
Tears cloud your eyes,
Do not let them go.
You stand lonely, awkwardly
Waiting for this torture to end.
This dismal day
Lasts forever
Because you are alone.
