Funny?
<p>Joy to the world!</p><p>The clown here and for some reason–</p><p>They laugh, they laugh </p><p>"Ha that was funny" </p><p>"You're funny".</p><p><br/></p><p>Why does the world... Laugh?</p><p>Is it funny? That I bring you joy?!</p><p>Is it funny that you come to me for laughter and I just give it??</p><p><br/></p><p>Oh no no, this was never my job, this was never mine!</p><p>Smiley faces all this while but what makes me smile?</p><p>Did you ever wonder? did you ever ask?</p><p><br/></p><p>Do you know how much pain it is? That under all this powder and make up is someone not worth dying for?</p><p>I mean, who would love a clown?? Who would?!</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s always the case, they only see the goofiness of my face.</p><p>No one laughs with me, I'm the objectified comedy, the living joke, the invoker of your wildest laughable thoughts!</p><p>I'm just someone to laugh at, right??</p><p><br/></p><p>Ahem </p><p>"I would laugh with you"</p><p>Shut up! You are no man! </p><p>Just the rule at the back of my mind that feels laughing with everyone that laughs at me makes it better!</p><p><br/></p><p>I am that clown!</p><p>They didn't sign up for, this is no circus, but they laugh at all of it.</p><p>My mistakes, my loss, my wins, my life!</p><p>And all your voices are a crescendo of "That's one funny clown! Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa"</p><p><br/></p><p>"You're not that laughable tho"</p><p>Shut up! Stupid voice in my head!</p><p>Take my heartful middle finger! </p><p>You and you and you and you!!!</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm only that funny clown,</p><p>And the joy to your sad, messed up world.</p><p><br/></p>
