Laugh Away

Dragged into the past 
Thinking 
Hurting 
The pain 
Feeling drained 
Contrite 
All those fights 
Sleepless nights 
Opportunities lost
Mistakes caused
Myself tossed 
Maybe shame 
The wrongs 
That were made
Regrets 
That I hate 
Too much past at this rate 

Should I despair?
Should I give up?

Mind makes it worst
Emotions are a curse
Intuition is speechless
Instincts can’t make sense of this 
No one there to help me
I’m imagining 
And it’s killing 
I’m wondering
And It’s not working 
Wishing for direction 
But it eludes me 

So I laugh the past away
Helping me feel the sun’s rays 

But then I slip into to the present
Thinking 
Life didn’t play out the way I thought
The way I want
I might have succeeded 
But I also failed 
I am where I am 
But where could I have been?
What should I have been? 
I can’t bear so much around me
So much that still tears at me 
Pain inside 
Alive 
Bothers me 
Even though it doesn’t show 
And nobody knows 

I believe all that is is the best for me
But it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt me

I try to think my way through 
But confusion accrues 
I try to understand but am not able to
I analyze 
But Feel like mind is glued 

So I just laugh the present away 
Believing tomorrow will bring a better day 

My mind drifts into the future 
What does one feel?
Many things but certainly fear 
The uncertainty 
The lack of clarity 
The myriad of possibilities 
I feel anxiety 
The inevitability 
What can be 
Scares me 

Should I just stop?
Let me heart drop?
Stop striving for the top?

So I laugh the future away
Believing That the future is not my fate 

Laughter 
the Healer
Redeemer 

It doesn’t change the past 
But it changes My feelings 
It’s a form of healing 
It’s creates a fresh perspective 
Endows me with a vision 
Helps me be more objective
That the past might be over 
But no matter the age 
My life is just beginning 
That the past can mean nothing 
If I choose from now on to choose differently 

Laughing is like rain 
It washes away the pain 
It cleans the soul of its window stains
like the sun shine 
It banishes the night 
Taking what is serious 
And making it light 

Laughter is 
When your thoughts transcend thoughts 
And become insights without words
Understanding  Without logic
Grasping without thinking 
Within reason but beyond it 

Ascending 
Transcending 

It affirms the freedom of the mind 
To See your situation otherwise 
That What appears tragic  in reality
Is your deliverance from Tragedy 

Laughter: G-d’s gift to humanity 

What we can laugh at we can survive
It teaches us to Thrive 
When we feel like giving up
To Live 
Be alive 
That No matter the defeat 
We can rise 
No matter the despair 
We can propel to the sky 

Fill your mouth with laughter 
And your heart will be replete with hope 
It will make your burdens lighter 
shows  you you’re fighter 

So When you can’t think 
Your way out of the maze 
When all of life looks like a haze
When you just can’t get past that certain phase 

Then just laugh laugh laugh away
