my life is a comedy
I thrive to be somebody
all I find is misery
my vision turns blurry
“keep crying, honey
your pain is funny”
my tears are sweet
ain’t that neat?
can I run from this?
jump into the abyss
set myself free
hang from a tree
quirked up lips
as my blood drips
behind the mask
as I finish the task
I close my eyes
drop my disguises
I die smirking
hoping it’s working
your dirty soul is decaying
you’re decaying
you’re falling apart
a work of art
turn for your comedy
in the end, you’re nobody

This is a very sad poem. Good slant rhymes again.
