Not a Joke
Is my pain funny to you?
Are my fears hilarious?
Do my tears make you laugh?
When I am upset, do you find it entertaining?
Why is my sadness a joke to you?
Why do you joke about something that makes me hate myself?
Did this happen to you?
Would you like it if this happened to you and I started to giggle?
THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
MY PAIN IS NOT FUNNY.
MY FEARS ARE NOT HILARIOUS.
MY TEARS SHOULD NOT MAKE YOU LAUGH.
WHEN I AM UPSET, YOU SHOULD NOT FIND IT ENTERTAINING.
MY SADNESS SHOULD NOT BE A JOKE TO YOU.
YOU SHOULD NOT JOKE ABOUT SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME HATE MYSELF.
THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO YOU.
YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT IF THIS HAPPENED TO YOU AND I STARTED TO GIGGLE
THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
