Survival
Surviving is like enduring the hell of a bad clown.
He tries to make you laugh and fails miserably.
Then he makes you a useless balloon animal
That’s just going to deflate in a week anyway.
He pretends that he’s funny, but we both know he isn’t.
Suddenly he gives up and his painted-red mouth frowns.
His paint drips from his skin.
With a sigh, he gathers his props and leaves
And I laugh, because I endured.
