for the flimsy ones

Do you wait for it to just pass?
Swallowing up their hurtful gaze?
If so, then take this day as your last.

You always have someone else's stance,
Never thought of what remains.
Do you wait for it to just pass?

Does the way you yourself dance,
Always have a different pace?
If so, then take this day as your last.

Worry not, you're a blooming flower among grass!
Embroider yourself in the sun's rays—
Do you wait for it to just pass?

Feeling ripped in a single hard glance,
Like your confidence has been set ablaze?
If so, then take this day as your last.

I know the idea's hard to grasp,
But this truth is not just a phase.
Do you wait for it to just pass?
If so, then take this day as your last.
