Why Is Life Funny?

A brief thought of why I think life is funny.

Life is funny.

When I'm awake I know nothing.

When I'm awake I weep.

When I'm awake I cry in sorrow, never seen.

When I'm awake I hide.

I hide in a shell.

My armor of sarcasm, repels them well.

In this world, I am always afraid.

In this world, I want to escape.

And so, as I lay down my head,

I rejoice as I go to bed.

Life is funny.

Not because it seems to pick on me,

But because of what it makes me in my dreams.

There I'm free, to smile or to cry,

There I'm free, to live my life.

Yes in this world, this land of dreams,

I have no anxiety.

I don't sit there and worry of dying alone,

I don't sit there and pray to hope.

No in this world I'm free.

I'm free to be me.

I can be happy or sad, and all between.

In this funny funny life, I get to be the real me.

Not the one who everyday dawns a mask,

Nor the one who wishes to pick up a flask.

No here, in this land of dreams, is the place you can find the true me.

In this land I shatter my mask,

And in this land in the sun I can bask.

So life is not funny for picking on me.

Rather it's funny for showing me who I could be.

It shows me a life of happy and fun,

And it shows me a life where from emotions I don't run.

So why is life funny?

Why is it funny to me?

It's funny because mine lays just out of reach.
