Laughter

Laughter 
An easily used mask
A fake detail
Put in place
To hide the pain
That resides inside
 
Laughter
Easily broken 
By thoughts
So harsh 
A bitter taste and tears forced forward
 
Laughter
A bubble of acid 
Climbing up my throat
Burning my insides
Coating it with it’s harsh lies
 
Laughter
Clogging my throat with it’s burning acid
Choking me
Coughing from the sickness that is the laughter
 
Laughter
How I wish it was carefree
Young carefree laughter that doesn’t burn
The kind of laughs that are infectious
Laughter that fills rooms and warms hearts
Not the laughter that causes me to choke and scream
