No Laughing Matter

Thoughts of a person with a great personality, dealing with a few hard realities.

What happens to a sense of humor?

When life is no longer funny?

When bills start to pile up because

You make not enough money.

When the climate of a relationship

Correlates with income.

When you do what you can to help one,

Help two and then some.

What perceptions come about

With self preservation?

When you'll go through whatever in this world

Sacrificing just short of starvation.

When an 'A' for effort is not enough,

Good intentions yield a struggle.

Thinking outside the box

But all the while stuck in a bubble.

What happens when you feel trapped?

Fight or flight is kicking in.

No wings, no red bull

But you smell bs in the wind.

When things go wrong, you know they will

No matter how you try.

With what fight you have left in you,

You try to smile, but you just sigh

What happens to a sense of humor?

When life is no longer funny?

When the things that made you smile

Remind you today just isn' sunny.

When it rains on every window,

And you're feeling cold inside.

What happens to a sense of humor?

When favor is back on your side?

Usually the sense of humor is the last to go if you're lucky...it's the only thing to fall back on when you're having a helluva time. Lot's of anxiety in this read...except for this.

No wings, no red bull
But you smell bs in the wind.

That made me chuckle ;-)
