It kills us,
Though it presents a smile,
It's only for awhile,
Insulting indeed,
Taunting,
Yet said to be a "joke",
Not to be taken personally,
When aimed RIGHT for you,
How are we to keep from breaking down,
Tear by tear,
Cut by cut,
Scar by scar,
It hurts worse every time,
Laughter is the core,
The core of pain itself,
Why we cry ourselves to sleep EVERY night,
Not strong enough to fight,
But not strong enough to deflect.
