Laugher



Laughter

Laughter
Flashy background
Smiley faces
mashed room
Where gravity flows
Where society laughs
The spotlight is on you
Smile
Conceal
Put on a show
Don’t let them know
Make one wrong, and everyone will know
Wave and make conversation
Wait till it’s time
Till you can breathe again
Don’t let them smell your sorrow
You’re sense of loneliness
Let them celebrate you
Just for tonight
Then you can be alone again
Under your blankets again
Then you can be pathetic again

Now the show must go on
