'Can I hang myself'
Worried looks
Hoards of laughter
'Calm down it was a joke'Laughter
It was a joke
It's always just a good laugh
I criticise myself and laugh, so others laugh with me
It's just a joke
Just like me
Just like this continuous smile on my face
Just like the cuts on my skin
Just like the tears waiting to fall
Just like the quiver of my lip as my body trembles
It's all for a good laugh
Its all just a joke
Its funny, right?!
Come on now!!
Laugh at me!!
Laugh at my pain
Laugh at the pathetic state I'm in
Laugh, god dang it!! Laugh!
Joke about my hurting heart
Or my scattering thoughts
Or my frown that I let show
Or my vulnerability
Are you laughing??
Isn't that why I "Joke" about everything
Isn't that why when I was crying I smiled and said 'got you!'
Isn't that why when I was trembling with sadness I laughed and said 'Why wouldn't I be fine? I'm always okay'
So when I say I wanna die
Or when I 'Joke' about suicide and self-harm
Laugh
Just laugh at my not-so-funny joke
Cause that's how you see it
As

Joke
A/N
This was kinda long, sorry
