Laughter


It's engulfing, enthralling, all-consuming.

It's irreplaceable.

I use it everyday.

I need it everyday.

It can keep away the insecurities;

take away the pain.

With so many varieties, there's never a duplicate.

It's unique.

And I am truly grateful to hear its melody.

I thrust it upon others;

encouraging them to do the same.

It can save a person's soul;

resurrect them.

It can be cruel,

It can be wild,

It can be loving.

From the inside jokes with teammates,

To the silly faces with your best friend.

It's a stress reliever.

A true friend.

You can't lose it;

You can't.

It's a necessity.

A miracle.

A real life-saver.

It's laughter.

And when surrounded by it, smiles are all around.
