Laughter
She carries on through the tears
And tries to find her smile
She falls behind as others laughter
Slice her heart apart
She knows she does not deserve the shame
She would never hurt a soul
But the words of one who can only lie
Have driven her this far
She can not look into their eyes and feel an ounce of hope
She can not walk toward the truth
They only see her fall
They laugh and kick and hiss and spit
And her tears are sweat and blood
She gets up and begins to walk and limp herself away
The years have passed and time should heal
The wounds of bruises and blood
But the pain still exists deep in her heart
And the laughter echoes still
