Laughter and Me

Some times I laugh out loud Showing you that I could care less What you have to say. All that matters is that my feelings Are hidden. Hiding from those who judge me And those who love me. And laughter, helps me do just that. Laughter is my better half. Laughter stands with me When I am bored. Laughter comforts me when I want to cry. It keeps me company Through grief and through happiness. For better or worse, in sickness And in health, through think and thin. I love laughter, and laughter loves me. And yet you don't know why laughter makes me? Look deep into my eyes, When I laugh and you will see. You will find all the hate, All the pain, And all the hurt. But if that's all you see, You're not looking deep enough. Look past the tears that I won't allow to flow. Look past the memories I can't let go. And when you see through all the hate, all the pain and all the hurt. You will see me. I cover myself up with laughter. There are none who can see, The true me. They can't see through my laughter. And if you should happen to see me, I won't need laughter to hide Behind anymore. Because I can cry on your shoulder. I can smile and enjoy your company, Without a single sound. Only then laughter won't be my protector. But until then it's me and laughter. Together always. I hide behind all my feelings through laughter. So if you're trying to figure out who I truly am. Laugh with me, and you'll then, see me.
