I love to laugh,
I'm sure I do,
so why does it make me feel so awkward and so sad?
Why am I afraid of it?
Why can't I join the merriment-
share the bond?
Why do their cheery giggles
make me feel so alienated?
Why does their joy
push me away?
it's not like I dislike it...
I love to laugh,
I'm sure I do.
