A Joke

The laughs are made

Because of me

I'm a joke to all

Can't you see

Just because they are animals

Doesn't mean they dont know

Just because I act like I'm okay

Doesn't mean I never let it show

They see me in a circus

They see me in a blouse

They see me in my field

They see me in my house

Why am I such a joke

I want to be set free

Why am I yelled and screamed at

When all I want to is flee

My cries and yelps aggravates their confusion

They ask why im so mad

Is it because I'm tired?

Or is it cause I'm sad?

You'll never understand, I say

I'm not tired you see

I'm -exhausted- in my soul

I just wish I could be me

I feel numb as their words

Plunge deep inside my heart

The words echoing in my head

When did this all even start?

I finally pushed my limit

When jokes must finally die

Yet they keep on pushing on

When they think I'm perfectly fine

Then they assume I'M lying

I'm THE one who's playing the joke

I finally reached my limit

The "joke" is not a joke.
