Goodnight

When there's no ear when you speak
and you are made to be an oblivious bargain 
when trust sounds so far away
and friends become quite cliche
take care, rest well, goodnight.

When feeling burdened,
burdened with pain
when family doesn't see it that way 
when there's no one who truly believes
take care, rest well, goodnight.

When misunderstandings are the new hearsays,
slanders guiding your every way
when troubles never seem to go away,
loneliness etched into your veins 
take care, rest well, goodnight.

Trials may come, 
dishonour on your name
whispers to crush or kill
even though life doesn't go as willed
take care, rest well, goodnight.

Wipe your tears
face your fears
bad days all come and go
remember that you matter more
than any pearls you know 
whenever sad, cry all you want
it's alright you know
tomorrow is a brand new day
so goodnight and hope again.
