Isnt it funny?

How a family can turn

how loving parents fight

Until all that’s left is the hurt

 

isnt it funny?

that there’s bullies at school

people who are no better than you

with a goal to make you feel like dirt

 

isnt it funny?

friends that you make

a chosen few you trust

can make you feel so much pain

 

isnt it funny

no matter how much good there is

all people see is the bad

how when faced with the truth

the immediate reaction is to get mad

 

nothing you see is how it really is

the smiles are fake, in place to hide the cringe

the proud standing on the aching backs of the humble

the lie told, the reason unknown, lost in the crowds mumbles.

 

even the powerful word such as love

becoming nothing more than a careless whisper

loyalty, honesty, compassion and more

Gone with the wind as hate walked in the door

 

depression taking over the world 

a teenager fearing a future will be worse

chooses to die before they fall victim to this curse

the curse of living in this time

 

I think about all of this

I can’t help but to release a throaty laugh

isnt it all so atrociously funny?
