I've made mistakes
and I have problems,
but nay do I cry.

I sound in laughter.
A bellow of insanity,
yet, a cry all it's own.

Broken from normality
I fool all those around.
I twist their minds for better.

They don't want to know.

They wouldn't contain the hate, the misery,
the shame.

The words would fly free
and lock my feelings away.
For their words chain me.

I'm within a bind,
wrapped in barbwire,
hung over the hungry.

They want to hate.

I'm found guilty
and beaten to an inch.
Lasted only out of mercy.

Mercy for not me,
but those that have to stop
so it can go on tomorrow.

Blind anger,
bottled into rage,
cast upon my soul for others.

So I laugh.

I laugh to keep insane,
So that may never happen.
They'd better quite me for good.
