Laugh at my pain


(poems go here) You ask why do I laugh at everything?..because I have to if I did not laugh at everything I would cry all the time..you ask why I cry all the time?…I cry because my life is full of pain….but I think I’ll stick to laughing because crying causes too much of a scene and when I cry my pain is being shared with other people because then they start to feel bad for me because they see the tears and can’t do anything about it so instead I laugh sharing something much more beautiful a laugh a laugh a joyous noise someone makes when they are happy….it makes a difference when one persons pain can become others happiness I channel the tears and I give them to you..then you’ll ask me why? all of this for what?…and then I’ll say with laughter in my voice & pain in my eyes…for a smile of course…that is when i smile then you look at me with a face of confusion….

it's good that you laugh when people insult or degrade you it shows that you are a bigger person even if you shed, its ok-you are a human being-it's important that people respect all across the board great job with the relfection of this poem im a power poetry mentor-keep writing
