When It Hurts To Laugh

In the middle of "hell" and all its ogres, It is difficult to find a ray of hope, or salvation to lighten the spirit, A smile or simple laughter fights its way to get to the surface, While the heart festers with pain and angst, a mere facade to the outside world, affirming the mirage, that all is well.
