I laugh at my own misery
Smile at my constant tears
Enjoy my pain filled destiny
Live for my unanswered prayers
I constantly dramatize mortality
Laughter always turns to pain
I’m riding high on my morality
Love my life with deep disdain
Delight only comes with depression
Sadness is my only joy
I excel with each regression
only content to destroy
I smile but with deep sad eyes
for happiness-my true demise

Lisa,

very interesting write..i dig the creativity behind this...except that i feel that a person might be slightly sadistic if he portrays the emotions as revealed in the lines of your poem...
