Armour Of Laughter!

All of the time

When crowds watched me

Laughing my lungs out,

I was sad.

In the very core of my weary existence

The looming pain swept thoroughly

Making my crippled heart bone-tired

So when the pain overflew

And spilled out of my eyes

I jammed it inside

In hollow places

Beneath my bones

And I polished my frazzled flesh

One more time

Just like a trivial's choice.

Shutting doors

On the face of my innermost

I wore a shining armor of laughter

And stepped out

leaving that haunted place behind

You call home.
