Sense of Humor

I’m still struggling to deal

I’m unsure if I can cope

I’m sure there’s reasons to hope

I’m spent accepting what’s real

My soul has been crushed

My light has been dimmed

My will’s paper thin

My dark thoughts are lush

I’ve tried molting skin

I’ve kept things on hush

I’ve been out of touch

I’ve got hurt within

I let words hang in my throat

I know I need help to heal

I should admit how I feel,

But I think I’ll just tell a joke instead.
