Joker

We're put inside a box
And expected to be fine
But as each day goes by
I perfect my own lies
Hopefully my death
Will make more sense
Than the rest of my life
Put on a happy face
Smile, it confuses people
It's better than to hate
Smile, it makes me feel equal
Trapped inside my mind
A place so quiet
Where this is no time
But am I lying?
Laughing uncontrollably
Cracking jokes in such a way
I cut my face
So it never fades away
The jokes on you
Trading in my sanity
For a purpose and a clue
Madness is my only friend
Without it I'm just like you
Torn, lost and confused
Emotions of a normal person
That's been used and abused
All it takes is one bad day to come around
For once I was lost but now I am found

I had a bad day, what about you?
