This is not bts. I was assigned to write a mock epic for class, which, if you are unaware, means a funny, satirical, story including a battle about real world issues. This is mine.
'Write something funny!' They say
But can they not see, that im trying everyday
To be funny, to be kind, to be
Everything that you want from me?
'It cant be that hard!' They scream
And maybe, in some far off dream,
It's not hard to be funny, or kind
But here, in the world, i can't be so blind
To the fact that we're all here,
Wasting away from fear
Of all the ugly and bad
And things that we want, that will never be had
'We're all the same!' they advocate
When deep down, they're filled with phobia and hate
They want love and money and happiness
I want my life to be less of a mess.
'Everyday is a new beginning' they whisper
But do they realize, do they ever consider
The pain of the darkness, the throne of dread we sit upon
Waiting for the sun to rise, praying for the crack of dawn?
'Write something funny!' They urge
But how can you, when your brain is too busy try to purge
Itself of all the bad thoughts, the dark and the weary
How can you write something funny, when your mind has succumbed to the dire and dreary?
'It can't be that hard!' They say again and again
But do they know how hard it is to be funny when
Your mind is ripping itself apart
How hard it is to pick up a pen and start
To write, to ink away the pain,
When all the pain is so far nestled in your brain
That you can get it out
Not even if you were to cry and scream and shout
And how hard is it to be funny
When everything is anything other than sunny
And how hard can it be
To try and channel something that's anything other than me?
I'm not funny, I can't be
Not when my head is ever so slowly
Turning against itself, a self hating sinner
Fighting a war with no clear winner
I'm sorry, I can't be funny, I really did try
But it's hard to be funny when you want to die.
