experience; facade

by @pjspoems

Have you ever heard a joke made when someone’s trying to hide their sadness? Did you notice their voice breaks at the end? And their hands too, it just tremble ever so slightly And you see their eyes well but the lips The lips never lie You can see it Disgusted Frustrated Powerless Smiling How, oh how does a bitter smile is supposed to seal the joke and make it funny and make everyone laughs and everything okay again
