Today is April first, or was April first.
Countdown towards the next day.
..And the Fool Smiles.
Has it been a good day?
" ...Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two"
And today marks the 32nd day. Thirty second day of March.
Where we smile, we dance, and play tricks. Living in blissful ignorance.
And today is the first. First day into April.
Where the fool watches us smile, listens to our songs, our pranks. Grinning at our naivety.
Set our alarm, Share the news with the others.
Today is March 32nd, or it was supposed to be.
Looking back into our last day.
...And the Fool watches.
Was it a good day?
April First, or as the others call it, April Fool's day. It has always been a day related with joys, smiles, pranks, jokes, happiness.
however, how many of that is true?
Behind our pranks, how many of us really tried to make the other smile?
Behind all our masks, that just shrug them off and laugh it off, how many of us really forgave the other?
And behind all our smiles, how many of them are...true?
Turn on the radio. And off with the lights.
Today is April Fools'. When we are supposed to be happy.
...And the Fool waits.
What kind of day will it be..?
Many things might be intended as just simple tricks. Our childish pranks.
however, sometimes, people tend to go overboard.
And overreact.
..or both. in the worst cast scenario. Thus creating a huge shock. That shakes those fragile human relations. Creating huge damage. irreversible.
But it is maybe because we just want attention. We pull pranks on others in the hope that maybe...someone, anyone would notice. Notice..'me'. Who I am and who I really am, not who I seem or what I seem.
Maybe by this way, you can look at us , laugh with us. Smile at us.
We will hide. hide our true ugly self. Plaster on our unbreakable mask of smiles...and laugh. like nothing happened.
But slowly, pranks are pulled to affect the others, not in such a good way. Now, the people play tricks to laugh. Laugh at the others, not with them.
That is how much we have fallen.
Draw back the curtains, and lock the door.
Today is our day. We will make it that way.
And the Fool sleeps.
It will be a day eternally engraved in our memories.
Behind every smile lies a hundred litres of tears. Untold, unshed, unseen. Yet flooding away and destroying our fragile minds.
Draining our heart.
..Unstoppable.
The Fool is not allowed to show its sadness.
Because then it will cease to be who it is.
Dear Fool, please don't cry.
We all just want to see each other smile.
Again and again, we will try,
To save each other from our lies.
Once the mask breaks, we are nothing but ourselves.
