They always tell you
That laughter is the best medicine
But when you're crying so hard you're laughing
Instead of the other way around
They begin to believe you're mad,
When in reality
The tears
You wished so bad someone was there to brush away
Were more curable of a disease than the laughter that followed
For the tears were reversible,
However the laughter that was created in pain and fear
Was like the sound after a record was scratched
Like a never ending skip
That spread it's pain like the plague
To anyone who was listening just close enough to hear
