Expressions of a poor man

Laughter

Laughter is a medicine,

Or so they say,

But to me, laughter is a hell,

In which I can't get away.

Laughter is normal for me,

It's not extraordinary.

Yet it bothers me when others laugh.

I'm not that funny by even half.

Nobody should laugh when I joke,

Because my jokes are sick.

Laughter is one letter from slaughter,

Which is what should happen to me when I joke.

I'm a fake,

A phony,

A big slice of baloney.

When people laugh because me,

Their minds are unwell,

To me, laughter's not a medicine,

It's a living hell.

Kinda took a turn for the worse, eh? Some days I actually feel like this, though.
