The Joke, I Am
Life
Can be a comedy
Or a tragedy
Whatever way you see it
Feeling sick
Is it gonna be an annual event
Every autumn?
Seems like everything has been
Only tricks
And no treats
Tied up knots
Knots and knots
Inside me
Nots are in my favor
Can't get rid of it
Emotions
Thoughts
Worries
Broken hearts
Scattered around me
And I can only
Just look at the entire mess
Laughing
Blankly
Sit there
In the middle of it all
I can make people laugh
Because I'm the joke
I give people the greatest advice
Which I don't feed myself
Is it me
Or is it getting crazier out there?
Don't want to get out the door
I'm not ready
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your happy face
I say
To me
In the mirror
I'm dancing
In fire and ice
In pain
I laugh
In happiness
I cry
And I didn't understand
When they said that
Now I do
Swimming in nothingness
Water is clear
My mind is not
Where do I escape
These endless
Cold marble halls
The door keeps getting
Out of reach
Darkness trying to pull me into
An abyss
Why do I feel this way
Born to overfeel
It's a suffering to
Feel so much
I love deeply
I despair deeply
The highs and lows
There's never
A moment of calm
I sigh
I take out the
Red liquid lipstick
And pull on a smile
And off
The window
I prance
With grace
