Sometimes
I make myself laugh
Find the giggles
Amid the tears
Sometimes
I try to hard
Fall back defeated
Find my way back
Crying and laughing all the way
Sometimes
My wishing breaks
Down my spirit
But a small light of hope
Sometimes finds me
The silence is deafening
Sometimes
When the tears have drained me
The laughter ceases
The hope becomes
A lingering flame
Beaten in the wind
Sometimes
I fall down
To weak to feel
To hurt to heal
Sometimes
I wonder how
The laughter still
Finds me
