The Heart Chronicles

➳ Joke

"I wouldn't mind if a car was to run over me at any moment."

At first, this statement is a joke 

We laugh and agree 

Complaining about the hardships of survival 

In the back of our minds, we know it's the absolute truth

We pretend we are happy and carefree 

Just like how any other teenager should be 

But we both know what's going on inside our minds 

Though we are too afraid to say it out loud

We both know the dangerous honesty behind our claims 

Because after all, every joke holds some truth 

We still hint and joke and survive 

Not live, because that, is the opposite of what we want

There will come a day where we will acknowledge the thoughts shoved under 

At least, I hope there will be 

There will come a day when we stop and realize 

The joke is our actuality, our reality

And it needs to be consigned to oblivion

Before it can destroy us even more

Because if this joke isn't forgotten soon 

The car will be heading our way
