🎧 A Brave Smile | Sound Prescription No. 37
Hello, this is Kizuna🌸
Looking strong might not be
because you are truly strong,
but perhaps because you spent
so much time
where you couldn't stand otherwise.
The kindness of working hard for someone else,
and the kindness of protecting yourself,
you can cherish both equally.
To you, who are working hard and are kind.
You've worked hard enough,
so from now on, let's live kindly toward yourself.
~A Brave Smile~
To make someone smile,
I hide my weakness and pretend to be strong.
First, I stand up on my own.
Even when my heart is tired,
I pretend not to notice.
Even while looking down,
I can still walk.
"I'm okay"
has become my habit,
a brave smile.
I wear it again today,
keeping my heart that wants to cry locked away.
Can you hear my silent cry?
I’m still here… I’m still alive
Wanting to light up someone's tomorrow,
I forgot about my own.
Hold my hand, don’t let me fall
Don't let go of that hand anymore.
It's okay to protect yourself, too.
I deserve to be loved
The face reflected in the mirror
looks like a stranger.
I whispered in a raspy voice,
afraid to call for help,
as only my sighs increase.
After all the time I spent working too hard,
only silence remained.
But it didn't fade away,
that small light.
A brave smile.
Even if I finally take it off,
the world won't drift that far away.
Can you hear my silent cry?
I’m still here… I’m still alive
The spilled tears soak into my heart,
and I discover the light I couldn't see.
Hold my hand, don’t let me fall
With that hand, first hold yourself.
Make yourself smile.
I deserve to be loved
I was strong for everyone
But not for me
Even so,
I am still breathing here.
That is enough.
Enduring things for someone else's sake
is not strength.
I release the weight I carried
Cherishing yourself,
that is surely true strength.
This is my truth — I rise
With a smile that isn't brave,
let's go meet tomorrow.
Here I stand… still shining
You did well, me.
It's okay now.
It’s okay to breathe now

The time you spent trying to be strong,
and the kindness you tried to protect,
I believe they all had meaning.
