Laughter.

a laugh can mean so many things.

it can express a person's appetite to humour.

a way to conceal the truth.

a tool to break the ice.

or trying to be polite.

i laugh for all these reasons.

but

i laugh because it

helps me get by.

its a path to break the tension.

to ease the seriousness of things.

the sound of joy and happiness.

i feed off that.

misery loves company.

but we seek to get out of that.

and find better surroundings.

i laugh because it makes me feel good.

I've been asked quite often,

why are you laughing?

or

why do you laugh at everything?

my answer is

more laughter.

why?

i don't know.

laughter substitutes crying.

laughter is strong.

crying is weak.

i don't want to be vulnerable.

no one does.

i laugh to forget.

pain. sorrow.

anything negative.

if i smile and laugh.

maybe then

i can

fool the world.

and

fool my heart.
