Laughs it up

Laughs it up

A Poem by A.E.C

There are voices screaming in my ears

Perfect smiles covering my tears

Sometime i just sit in bed

And wonder to myself

‘When will it end’

‘When will it end’

I’ve been betrayed, and hurt

Left alone to figure things out

I wish i could give you a turn

But of course, life wouldn’t allow


Who say’s i gotta play by the rules

Gotta win or I’ll lose myself

Gotta shut up or put tape on my smartass mouth

Smack the words outta me

Words don’t pay damage in this economy

Bear it through it all, like my life is a comedy show

And i let the world know

Go on laugh it up

I don’t care anymore

Go on laugh it up

Why do i even try anymore


Why am i overreacting

It’s not like this will be forever lasting (i think)

It’s hard multitasking

The thing your try to keep in hiding

Screams in my head

Warning me of snake like venom

I hate all the tears i never shed

But i’d damn it all before i tell ‘em


Who say’s i gotta play by the rules

Gotta win or I’ll lose myself

Gotta shut up or put tape on my smartass mouth

Smack the words outta me

Words don’t pay damage in this economy

Bear it through it all, like my life is a comedy show

And i let the world know

Go on laugh it up

I don’t care anymore

Go on laugh it up

Why do I even try anymore
