You know, I’m still trying
(there’s no point denying)
That my life has been fraught with delight.
Yes I know that sounds strange,
but I’m sure things will change,
and I probably won’t put up a fight.
You see I’m a jester
who lets problems fester.
A trait that has cost me so much!
and I just can’t be happy,
even though life’s not crappy,
it’s just my emotional crutch.
I smile all alone
until it’s all gone,
I allow my detractors a peak…
… at my happy demure
and then when I’m sure
I’m alone into darkness I sneak.
