I let laughter haunt my mind, tediously sick of somber. Sometimes I crack and find (with ease at the best times) I laugh unhinged, with no thought of past crimes. Together were in madness on a ****** Sitting on fluffy clouds, we surrender. Puddles of tears release, like rain on a sunny day; it being so uncanny to cry. Wet pockets unrelenting once turned out at bay, other times feeling runs dry. Unusual is where I preside, I seldom cherish when I thrive. My rhythm alters; I must dance once you splash me, and then spin me around. I'm embraced and purposely a tease. My tears are over too soon, almost like a sweet tune. How could such lovely tears last? In this world so habitually full of unease. My skin glistens long after. The unforgettable linger makes me feel weak in the knees. Alike to the moon in the night, this happy ritual has no need for flight. Those times and those times only, I dont want the tears to stop. Hysteria corrupts every drop. Then everything sets in slowly. Dissatisfaction relents on my tongue, Its painful to laugh when mostly I want to cry, cry, cry. I speak but its all bittersweet. In a ocean of doom I cheat, I can swim deep in the dark, dark, dark. Im soaked but my passion runs dry. My throat is quenched but I resist water. I fuel the ocean with unfeeling ache that reaches no mark. Its comfortable to hide, but painstakingly stubborn. The same as looking with the lights off for direction, mindlessly romanticizing utopia. When I finally see, I am blinded with a spotlight overwhelming reinvention. Flickers of past also corrupt me, I stay undefined. I squint and hold onto the light: the days full of whimsy and corny jokes. All awhile, reminded. Salty tears only fall when I choke. I gag on the fright: my pityful fortune. My lungs loose air. I can only truly breath, when I smile with my eyes, and study the despair. I rest up in company, despite my distortion, those cherubs make me sing. Awkward but in tune. I'm seen and I'm not scared. These puddles I soak in: absorbing the abstract of all meaning. Im still unprepared, by each come June, weening. Free me with a soft cry, so sunny I can't help but grin, and bathe in all I've ever been.

To Laugh Is To Cry
I let laughter haunt my mind, tediously sick of somber. Sometimes I crack and find (with ease at the best times) I laugh unhinged, with no thought of past crimes.

I wrote this after a fun moment, where I laughed so hard I cryed. The strong emotion made me ponder on happiness and appreciating moments.
