"suicide jokes aren't funny"

I get told this all the time

and slowly I smile

Because they are all blind

It's ironic really

People forcing ignorance down my throat

When they have stomachs full of it

Now

Allow me to let you in on the joke

Behind my sarcastic tongue

My scowling mask

And ringing ears

I hide wet tears


I wonder if anyone will notice

Read past my punchline

See behind each joke I crack


That I just don't know how to react

To the overwhelming weight

The lonely nights

Or the destruction of my mind

I realize I'm wasting time

I shouldn't say anything

Just lock myself in this stall

And try to end it all
